Where the numbers come from
- Board foot: 1 BF = 144 in³ (1" × 12" × 12") → BF = thickness (in) × width (in) × length (ft) ÷ 12Softwood dimension lumber is figured on nominal size: a 2×4 counts as 2 × 4 though it measures 1½ × 3½ (American Softwood Lumber Standard, PS 20). Hardwood is sold by the rough thickness in quarters (4/4 = 1").Source
