According to F.W. Honerkamp Co. Inc., the aswer is as follows: The unit of measurement for hardwood lumber (bd.ft. or BF). A board foot is the amount of lumber in a board one foot long, one foot wide, and one inch thick before milling. The formula for determining the board feet in a board is: (Width in inchesx length in feet x thickness in inches) / 12 = BF

For example:

a board 8" wide, 12' long and 1" thick would contain 8 board feet.

(8" wide x 12' long x 1" thick) / 12= 8 board feet.
