		A BOARD FOOT is equivalent to one square foot of a 1-inch-thick board.
		Board feet are used for larger lumber that you are more likely to want to compare directly with different size boards (is it cheaper to cover an area with 1x12's or 1x6's?).
		A linear foot is a linear (length) measure, and a board foot is a volume measure.

	Board Feet/square feet - Topic Powered by eve community
		A board foot is an imaginary number representing a piece of wood 12" square and 1" thick.
		Board feet are determined by the nominal size of the wood.
		Board feet do have a relationship to square feet in that the area covered by a certain number of board feet of a thicker flooring will be less than the area covered by a thinner flooring.

	What is a board foot?
		The confusion of a board foot comes from the fact that it is really a true measure of wood volume rather than linear feet.
		Boards are generally cut to maximize yield and quality so the boards are left to maximize the size.
		A board foot is basically a 1-foot piece of wood that is 1 foot wide and 1 inch thick.

		One board foot is the nominal quantity of lumber derived from a piece of rough green lumber 1 inch thick and 1 foot wide by 1 foot long.
		In other words a board foot is the nominal thickness times the nominal depth in inches divided by 12 time the length in feet.
		A linear foot is the quantity of lumber derived from the total length of a piece of lumber.

		It is often said that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” It can be said as well that “board footage is in the mind of the individual.’’ The basic definition of a board foot remains 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 inch.
		All lumber material items must be covered either by using a higher price per board foot for the lumber involved, or covering all scrap and waste in the board footage count, or covering scrap and waste in some other fashion in your pricing model.
		If board thickness is measured on a ¾” count, stringers are measured on a 6/4x4” count, and board widths are calculated as 4” and 6”, then the GMA board footage would be 17.667.

	-What is a Board Foot?
		The definition of a board foot is rather simple--one board foot is a piece of lumber that is 1 foot wide, 1 foot long and 1 inch thick, or its volumetric equivalent.
		To calculate the board footage for a bundle of lumber containing many pieces, the SM is determined for each piece of lumber individually.
		The sum of the SM for all pieces of the same nominal thickness is determined and then multiplied by the nominal thickness to obtain the board footage, rounding to the closest board foot.

	board foot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In calculating board feet for boards, it is customary to assume that boards less than 1 inch thick are 1 inch thick, even if after surfacing they are thinner than that.
		For boards thicker than 1 inch the actual thickness is used.
		However, the number of board feet in two-by-fours and similar pieces of wood (which are not “boards,” but dimension lumber) is calculated on the basis of their nominal size (as if they were really 2″ by 4″, for example).

	Square foot vs board foot
		A board foot is equal in volume to a square foot of lumber 1" thick.
		Flooring may be sold by the square foot, since that is the measurement you are likely to take when you are calculating the size of the area to be covered, so it's a convenient unit of measure for floor coverings.
		It is not true that a square foot is a board foot (for 1-inch or thinner material), as the dimensions used for softwoods are the nominal sizes, not the actual sizes.

	Board Foot Measure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The board foot measure is based on the nominal measurement of the board as it is cut in the sawmill--that is rough and green.
		Before the board makes it to the lumber yard or to your house, it is kiln dried, which results in shrinkage in size and it is planed or smoothed to make it easier to handle and to insure relatively constant piece size for building purposes.
		Scribner log rule is a diagram log rule, in that the amount of board foot volume estimated from this log rule is derived from "diagramming" potential boards that can be cut from a log of a given scaling diameter (still small end diameter).

	HomeTips: Board Foot and Lumber Pricing
		When you buy lumber in quantity, the price of a particular species and grade of wood is often quoted by the board foot, a measurement equivalent to one 1-square-foot piece of wood that's 1 inch thick--a 1-foot-long 1 by 12 is 1 board foot.
		Similarly, a 1-foot-long 2 by 6, which is twice as thick but only half as wide as a 1 by 12, is also 1 board foot.
		Board foot pricing allows a lumberyard to group several different dimensions--say 2 by 4s, 2 by 6s and 2 by 8s--under one price

		Board-foot is a specialized unit of volume for measuring lumber in the US.
		It is the amount of wood in a 12 inch long 1x12 board, or the equivalent.
		For softwood, BF = L x W x T / 12, where L is nominal length in feet, truncated to the nearest even foot, W is nominal length in inches, T is nominal thickness in inches, and the result is rounded to the nearest 1/100 of a board foot.
