What is boardfoot?

The square footage does not include the board footage. Instead, it is an indication of volume. It is used to purchase multiple boards of lumber of different sizes.
One board foot of lumber is one square foot that's one inch thick.

  • Measure the diameter at the shorter side of the log (not counting bark) in inches.
  • Take the length of your log in feet.
  • Take a look at the places where these values meet.
  • You can also use the equation ((Diameter-4)/4)^2xLength), where units are the ones that you have measured.
  • This is an estimation of how many board feet are in a log.
