A 2x12x12 foot board would not be measured in square feet but cubic feet and there would be 240 feet3
A board foot is a unit of volume, while a square foot is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.

a foot of 4x6 Douglas fir will weigh about 2lbs. to 3 1/2 lbs. per running foot depending on the moisture content of the particular piece of lumber
Granite weighs an average of about 20 pounds per square foot, so a 5' by 8' (40 square feet) piece of granite would weigh approximately 800 pounds.
Freshly treated Southern yellow pine treated with .60 CCA pcf will weigh 4.5-5 lbs per board foot.
38 lbs The Specific gravity of Walnut is .64 so it would weigh about 40 pounds per cubic foot, depending on the moisture content. Therefore a board foot would weigh between 3.3 & 3.5 pounds.
The cost of plywood is determined by "board feet," that is one board foot of plywood is one cubic foot. The variety of the wood, the number of plys or layers, the grade of wood, and the type of glue used are all determinant factors in the cost.So, to determine the cost of one gram, you would need to weigh one board foot of the variety you choose. Determine the quantity that would weigh one gram, and divide the cost of one board foot by the number of grams in that board foot.
16 pounds
The southern yellow pine's weight varies between 32 lbs. per cubic foot and 38 lbs. per cubic foot. The weight of the treatment, if there is one, must be added on top of that, then must be adjusted for the size of the piece of wood.
2x4's weigh approximately 1.21 pounds per foot. So an 8 Foot 2x4 = 9.68 pounds 12 Foot 2x4 = 14.52 pounds 14 Foot 2x4 = 16.94 pounds Just take 1.21 pounds times the length of the board and this will give it it's overall weight. This is for pine boards.
There are several factors to consider in the correct answer of your question, wet or dry weight can alter the exactitude of the aforementioned, but you can start at 3.4 pounds per board foot for Red Maple, wet it will weigh more than when its dry.
A board foot is a unit of volume equivalent to 144 cubic inches. To find tons, you would need to know the density of the particular wood that you are interested in. ==================================================== Boardfeet is based upon nominal dimensions. For example the nominal dimensions of a 2x4 is 2" x 4". It's actual dimension is closer to 1 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches. So there will be some error in the calculation if you are attempted to determine the weight of dimensional lumber. Southern Pine weights approximately 40 lbs per cubic foot. There are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot. There are 2000 lbs in a ton. therefore the weight of one board foot (conservatively because of the nominal dimensions) is: (40x144)/(1728x2000) tons per board foot. Sorry , don't have a calculator handy. Another way to do it is that there are about 12 board feet in a cubic foot. So a board foot would weight 40/12 lbs or 3.33 pounds. 3.33 pounds is 3.33/2000 tons. !! a lot easier!! (southern yellow pine) glenn
The board-foot is a specialized unit of volume for measuring lumber in the United States and Canada. It is the volume of a one foot length of a board one foot wide and one inch thick.
Once it's kiln dried, yellow pine is one of the lighter woods. I wouldn,t think a 4x12x10' should weigh much more than 60 lbs. Maybe not that much. Sorry, but the above answer is incorrect. Actually the weight of dried southern yellow pine is around 3 lbs per board foot. A 4x12x10' contains 40 board feet and therefore weighs approximately 120 lbs. The above answer is conservative. The exact answer is yellow pine has a density of roughly 40lbs/ft^3. A 4x12 is actually 3.5"x11.25" = 39.38in^2. Therefore for a 10ft section: (40lb/ft^3) x ((39.38in^2)/144) x (10') = 109.4 lbs.
A board foot is 12 inches by 12 inches, 1 inch thick. Any combination of measurements that equal this is 1 board. 6x24x1 is 1 board foot. 2.9 board foot could be anything. There should be another measurement saying what this is. Board foot is used to figure cost as most common wood is the same price per board foot. Could be 2x4, 2x12 or 1 inch, it all works out the roughly the same price.
Not enough information. You would also need to know:* The thickness of the board * The density of the material. Many types of wood have a density that is slightly less than that of water.
