Board Foot (also BF or BdFt) is calculated by using the following equation: Thickness (inches) x width (inches) x length (feet) / 12 = bdft Ex: a 1.5” thick board that is 8” wide and 14’ long is measured as 14 BdFt (1.5” x 8” x 14’) /12 Q : Do you carry plywood or any kind of sheet goods or glued up panels?

We carry a wide variety of grades that range from very, very knotty with many defects to the finest clear grades. The grading rules can become very complex depending on the species.
