BOARD FEET CONVERSIONS The basic unit of measure for lumber cut from a log is the board foot. A board foot contains 144 cubic inches of volume. It is generally easiest to compare any piece of lumber to a board foot of lumber measuring one (1) inch thick, twelve (12) inches wide and one (1) foot long. Lumber under one (1) inch thick is generally considered the same as one (1) inch thick for estimating purposes. To calculate the BOARD FEET in a given piece or amount of lumber, use the formula:
To convert linear feet to board feet:
To convert board feet to linear feet:
T" x W" x L' 12
12 T" x W"
= Bd. ft.
x Bd. ft = Linear
DIMENSION LUMBER
GRADE STAMPS Lumber is stamped with a grademark to show its grade. The American Lumber Standard Board of Review sets the standards and qualies grading agencies. Each grade stamp shows the name or symbol of the agency, the number of the mill, the species group, the grade and the classication S-DRY or S-GRN. S-DRY indicates that the lumber has a moisture content of 19% or less after being kiln dried. S-GRN has a moisture content greater than 19%. The following is a facsimile of a grade stamp.
Grades and Uses
Nominal Size (in)
Grade
Grade Mix 1
Principal Uses Used in most construction. High strength, stiffness, good appearance. Preferred for trusses, rafters and joists.
2 to 4" thick 2" and wider
Select Structural No. 1 No. 2
No. 2 & Better (No. 2 & Btr.)
No. 3
–––––––––– Used when high strength and appearance are not important.
Standard & Better (Std. & Btr.)
Common mix used in general framing. Has less strength and shorter spans than No. 2 & Btr. structural light framing. Used most where high strength is not important - studs & plates in partition walls, blocking and braces. Temporary or low cost construction where strength and appearance are not important.
2 to 4" thick 2 to 4" wide

1. For ease in grade sorting, the higher grades are combined and sold as a grade mix. Pieces in the grade mix are still individually grade stamped. For additional information on wood species used in construction, visit the Canadian Wood Council @ www.cwc.ca , the Southern Pine Marketing Council @ www.southernpine.com or the Western Wood Products Association @ www.wwpa.org
a. WWPA Certification Mark: Certies Association quality supervision. is a registered trademark. b. Mill Identification: Firm name, brand or assigned mill number. WWPA can be contacted to identify an individual mill whenever necessary. c. Grade Designation: Grade name, number or abbreviation. d. Species Identification: Indicates species by individual species or species combination. e. Condition Of Seasoning: Indicates condition of seasoning at time of surfacing
MC-15 - 15% maximum moisture content S-DRY - 19% maximum moisture content S-GRN - over 19% moisture content (unseasoned)
