Here is a simple formula. 12 / (Depth in inches x Width in inches) x Number of Board feet
Very easy calculation really
Compliments of Mark A. Mai
Linear footage is a one dimensional measurment. Board footage is volume. one board foot is 1 inch thick by 12 inches square. 1" x 12" x 12" = 144 cubic inches of wood or one board foot.
Multiply Imperial gallons/foot by 14.915
if the board is 8 inches width by 8 foot long by 2 inches thick at $5.50 per linear board what is the price per board?
You can't convert that.
A linear foot is a unit of distance. A square foot is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
Multiply by 3.
You can't without the width and thickness of the item - board feet is a volume measurement, linear feet is a linear measurement. 12 board feet are one cubic foot.

A foot is a linear measure. You can't convert it in cubic anything.

Lineal foot can be measured on the ground. It is related to an actual measurement. Linear foot is a distance not necessarily measured along the ground. Also linear foot can refer to board feet.

A square foot is a unit of area. A linear foot is a unit of length. The two units are therefore incompatible.

You do not. A square foot is a measure of area. A linear foot, as the name suggests, is a measure of distance. The two measure different things and it makes no sense to try to convert from one to the other.
The foot is a linear measurement. You cannot convert a linear measurement to an area measurement.
