 Probably some people are asking what is a board foot or what is a lineal foot? Well, there are two different things Board foot is a board which is one inch thick 12 inches wide 12 inches long That's one board foot now if you had a one by 12 board, you know It's easy to figure because every every foot is a board foot If you had a six inch board one inch thick it takes two lineal feet to make one board foot So when I when I was talking about stacking the boards why I like to stack on four feet wide And I like to try to keep all the boards the same length in the same pile It's easy for me to figure after we've got a pile of boards How many board feet I have in that pile because it just multiply the width which is four feet times the length say in this Case is 12 footers. So that's 48 board feet in in one one row of boards
