How It Works
Board Foot Formula: BF = (Thickness" × Width" × Length') / 12
A board foot is a unit of volume equal to a 1-inch thick board that is 12 inches wide and 1 foot long (144 cubic inches or 1/12 of a cubic foot).
This is the standard unit for pricing and measuring hardwood lumber in North America.
