Board feet is a cubic measurement of wood. One board foot = 1 ft × 1 ft × 1 in.
5 1/3 Board Feet.

About 500 million acres of this forested land is classified as timberland, or land capable of growing 20 cubic feet of wood per acre per year.
62,464 acres.
A cord of wood is generally 8 feet long, 4 feet tall, and 4 feet wide. The wood is cut into 16 inch lengths. The amount of wood in the cord varies depending on the type of wood but the wood must occupy a space of 128 square feet.
12x12 timber, of what wood species? And what is the moisture content of this wood? The question above cannot be answered without more information. A 12"x12"x8' piece of Balsa timber will weigh much less than a 12"x12"x8' Teak or Red Oak. In order to calculate the weight of 12x12 timber, you would need to know the specific weight of the wood, usually based on a board foot weight, then you could calculate how many board feet are in the piece of 12x12 you want to weigh. To get the board foot amount you would use this formula Thickness"*Width"*Length'/12 = Board Foot. So my piece listed above would be 96 board feet. Now that you know how much wood you want the weight of, you need to determine the moisture content, and also the wood species.
In the 1950's, an entire 36-room motel was constructed with the wood from a single redwood of no particular prominence, which produced more than 57,000 board feet of lumber. Many sequoias are much larger than that tree.
Wood has a wide range of densities.
Linear footage as referred to in wood or lumber is the length as you see it.For instance a 2 x 4 x 8, is 8 feet long. - In theoretical board feet this is actually 5.333 board feet or practically, 5.0 board feet. ( because a 2x4 is not really that dimension, but 1.5x3.5. )
you need 32 square feet of wood. 4 x 8
You will need 16 feet by 13 feet of floor wood!! Not rocket science!! :)
