Board Foot Measurement

Question 10

Measurement of lumber that is equivalent to 1ft.x12in. regardless of the thickness

Answer 10

Square Foot Measurement
Ex. 1ft. x 12in. x 1 in. = 1 sq. ft.
1ft. x 12in. x 2in. = 1 sq. ft.
2ft. x 24in. x 1in. = 2 sq. ft.

Question 11

Measurement of lumber that is equivalent to 1ft. x 12in. x 1in.

Answer 11

Board Foot Measurement
Ex. 1 board foot = 1ft. x 12in. x 1in.
2 board foot = 1ft. x 12in. x 2in.
3 board foot = 1ft. x 12in. x 3in.

Question 12

Formula for board foot of round log

Answer 12

Board foot = ((D-4)^2 x L)/16
D = smaller diameter of log
L = length of the log
4 = constant as the reduction factor
