What is foot board?
A piece of wood 1" thick by 12" wide by 1' long, or the equivalent volume. The width and thickness are often planed down some. So, let's say you have a 6" wide board 2' long and 1" thick. That is 1 board foot. Or, let' s say you have a 6" wide hunk of lumber 2" thick and 1' long. That is 1 board foot. Or, to get out of the box, here, say you have a 4" by 4" hunk of lumber that is 0.75 feet long (9") long. That is 1 board foot. In other words, if you multiply the width in inches by the thickness in inches by the length in feet, you have the number of board feet.
How is cubic board feet in timber converted into linear board feet in timber?
Cubic board feet is not a term used in the lumber industry, but it's obvious that a cubic foot is a cube that is one foot on an edge. A board foot, which is a common term used in the lumber industry is a piece of wood that is twelve inches wide, one inch thick and one foot long. Ten board feet would be a board one inch thick, twelve inches wide and ten feet long. (And no, a board doesn't have to be 12 inches wide. If it's 6 inches wide and 2 inches thick and one foot long, there is still one board foot of material there.) To make a cubic foot of wood, one might take one board foot of wood (12"x12"x1") and put it down, then stack another eleven pieces just like it on top the first one. That's 12 pieces of wood that are 1" thick for a total of 12" in height, and which are 12"x12" (length and width) giving us a volume of wood that is 12"x12"x12" or one cubic foot.
