The formula to calculate board feet is:
board feet=length (ft)×width (in)×thickness (in)12
Board feet is a unit of measurement for lumber, representing the volume of a board that is 1 foot long, 1 foot wide, and 1 inch thick.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
board feet=8×10×1.2512=8.33 board feet
