About the Lumber Volume Converter
A board foot represents a nominal board 1 foot long, 1 foot wide, and 1 inch thick, equal to 144 cubic inches. Sawmills and timber estimates use board feet even when actual dressed dimensions and moisture affect the finished material. This page retains the standard SI relationship while keeping customary and legacy units explicit, which is important when a specification crosses disciplines.
