I have tried 6 different sites/BF calulators and all 6 gave me different results...
Can someone expalin calculating board feet
I want to make a workbench top out of maple or even yellow pine and would like to estimate cost.
I figured I would use (10) boards 2" W x 60 L x 2" Thick = 20 X 60 Top (not including aprons)
Using a std formula... I come up with:
(L X W X H) / 144 (X qty of boards)
(60" X 2" X 2") = 240
240/144 = 1.667
1.667 X 10 = 16.67
Add in 30-35% for waste
1.35 X 16.67= 22.5 or 23 BF
Is this correct? and can someone post the link for a good BF calculator?
