First, you are measuring the trailing edge. You are showing .140 but it depends on many variable. Many.

Why do you ask?

I had the local prop shop try and duplicate the prop in picture.. (supposed to be sharpened and balanced STOCK 28) They took my prop and turned it into a potato chip. Leading edge is now less than half the thickness of the one in picture. My stock 30 is thicker than this particular 28, just trying to figure stock thickness.

Prop in picture is borrowed and not for sale. It's also my money prop. I've seen 88.8 with it, I see about 84-85 with my 28. 5500 rpm.

Stock numbers vary due to manufacturing processes.
Sounds like your local shop got a little carried away...............
