  1. BOARD FEET & PRICING OF SOLID LUMBER

  2. The standard unit of measurement for solid (rough) lumber is the…. BOARD FOOT (Bd Ft) • A Board Foot is a piece of stock…. 1” Thick x 1’ Square or 144 Cubic Inches or 1” x 12” x 12”

  3. EXAMPLE • A piece of stock that is 1” thick, 12” wide and 10’ long would contain 10 Board Feet.

  4. FORMULA FOR CALCULATING BOARD FEET 1 Bd. Ft. = # of pcs. x T” x W” x L” 144

  5. ALWAYS ROUND THE FINISH THICKNESS UP!!!! • Stock that is LESS THAN 1” thick is ALWAYS referred to as 1” when calculating Board feet. (Eg. Stock that is ¾” thick is changed to 1” when calculating Board Feet). • Stock that is OVER 1” thick is calculated to the nearest quarter. (Eg. A piece of stock that is 1 ¼” thick would be changed to 1 ½” or (6/4) when calculating Board feet).

  6. SELLING ROUGH LUMBER • Rough Lumber is SOLD by the NEAREST QUARTER in THICKNESS. • Stock that is 1” thick when it is rough is referred to as 4/4 (Four Quarter) • Stock that is 1 ½” thick when it is rough is referred to as 6/4 (Six Quarter)

  7. THE PRICE OF ROUGH LUMBER • Rough Lumber is PRICED by a thousand (1000) Bd. Ft. • We purchase 4/4 pine that is priced at $1,250.00 per thousand (1000) Bd. Ft. • Therefore 1 Bd. Ft. of 4/4 pine would cost $1.25

  8. USING THE Bd Ft FORMULA # PCS T W L Bd Ft 27/83 ½18 ¾0.91 1 Bd. Ft. = # of pcs. x T” x W” x L” 144 = 2 x 1 x 3 ½ x 18 ¾ 144 = 0.91

  9. USING THE Bd Ft FORMULA # PCS T W L Bd Ft 41 4 ½15 ¾2.46 1 Bd. Ft. = # of pcs. x T” x W” x L” 144 = 4 x 1 ¼ x 4 ½ x 15 ¾ 144 = 2.46
