 To
calculate the number of board feet, use the following formula:
Thickness (inches) x width (inches) x length (feet) ÷
12 = board feet. (This example shows one board foot, 1
x 12 x 1÷ 12 = 1.)
Following are some common widths and their equivalent in board
feet per foot of length:
| 1" x 4" x 1' |
=
|
0.33 bd ft |
|
2" x 4" x 1' |
=
|
0.67 bd ft |
| 1" x 6" x 1' |
=
|
0.50 bd ft |
2" x 6" x 1' |
=
|
1.00 bd ft |
| 1" x 8" x 1' |
=
|
0.67 bd ft |
2" x 8" x 1' |
=
|
1.33 bd ft |
| 1" x 10" x 1'' |
=
|
0.83 bd ft |
2" x 10" x 1' |
=
|
1.67 bd ft |
| 1" x 12" x 1' |
=
|
1.0 bd ft |
2" x 12" x 1' |
=
|
2.0 bd ft |
