Board Foot

Unlike square footage, the board footage is a measurement of volume. It is used when purchasing multiple boards of lumber in various sizes.

1 board foot = 144 cubic inches = 1/12 cubic foot

How to calculate board feet?

board feet = length(ft) * width(in) * thickness(in) / 12

board foot = 12*8*2/12

Total = 16 Board feet
