Dried Stock Lumber List

All lumber is offered for sale on a Board Foot (Bd. Ft. or BF) Basis.  This unit of measure uses rough sawn thickness, in 1/4" increments, prior to any machining.  Rough lumber is always referred to in quarters of an inch (i.e., four quarters - 4/4 = 1" rough sawn, five quarters - 5/4 = 1-1/4", eight quarters - 8/4 = 2"). Minimum rough thickness is 4/4 or 1".

In practice, board foot calculation is simply the square feet of surface multiplied by the thickness and can be computed as follows:

Width in inches x length in feet DIVIDED BY 12 x thickness = Bd. Ft.

For example: 

A board measures 9" wide by 8' long and is 1-1/2" thick. 

Calculation would be 9 x 8 divided by 12 x 1.5 = 9 Board Feet (BF).

When lumber has been surfaced, it is always referred to by an exact size.  (i.e., 13/16" or 1-1/4").  The board footage is calculated from its original rough dimensions.
