What is a board foot?
A measure of volume, this calculation is really only pertinent when you sidle up to the cash register.
A while back, the following question was posted to our forums, and it brought to light that we don’t have much covering the topic of board foot calculations. It’s a fundamental skill that often is taken for granted by experienced woodworkers, but confounds beginners.
How would I calculate the amount of board feet I need to purchase?
Say I am making a face for a floating shelf, 3/4 in. by 2 1/2 in. by 6 in.
Do I just punch those numbers in and get the answer? Or do I figure out what raw stock size I need and work from there?
A few weeks ago, the Idaho Press published a story by Rachel Spacek about hobbies people have picked up during the pandemic. She sent a note to employees asking if anybody at the paper had started a new hobby to add some color to her story. I shared with Rachel that I have been doing some very basic woodworking to keep my stress levels down and shared a photo of a shop table I was building.
Once the story published, I heard from many readers and friends, and one email stood out above the rest. It was a note from Kathy Neufeld, a teacher at the Caldwell Online Academy.
