Hardwood Lumber Pricing

In the table below "4/4" means the board is 1 inch thick; "8/4" means 2 inches thick, etc. "BDFT" stands for boardfoot. A boardfoot is 144 cubic inches of wood. To calculate the number of boardfeet of wood in a board multiply the number of inches of width times the number of inches of length times the thickness divide by 144. For example a board measuring:
  • 12 inches wide by 8 foot long by 1 inch thick is 8 bdft
    (12 * 8 * 12 * 1 / 144 = 8 bdft).
  • 10 inches wide by 8 foot long by 1 inch thick is 6.66 bdft
    (10 * 8 * 12 * 1 / 144 = 6.66 bdft).
  • 6 inches wide by 8 foot long by 1 inch thick is 4 bdft
    (6 * 8 * 12 * 1 / 144 = 4 bdft).
  • 8 inches wide by 4 foot long by 2 inch thick is 5.33 bdft
    (8 * 4 * 12 * 2 / 144 = 5.33 bdft).
