Going to Fitterling's March 24 dead animal roast and swilling get together. You Florida folf get yer orders in early before I run out; this stuff doesn't grow on trees you know

Week prior, I will be at Kyle's (sawmillnc.com) if you are looking for some exotics, slabs, turning blanks or the like, so let me know prior to the weekend of the 17th if you need me to pick up something for you.

The Kolleen fund is ballooning like WoodMa's belly, and you folf who may have forgotten to send something, now have another chance.

Hey Bones I know this sounds stupid but I am still new to all this. How you add up a bdft? I take it 4/4 is 4 inches by 4ft. Is this right? So how many bdft would that be? 1.4bdft? Sorry still new and havn't had to order any yet.

[Bones™]

4/4--lengthxwidth/144=bdft
6/4--lengthxwidthx1.5/144=1.5 bdft
etc.

I know I am not Bones. Heck I could never be the river to my people that he is but I hope this helps you.
4/4 is four quarter which is 1 inch thick. A board foot is 1 inch thick X 12 inches long X 12 inches wide. So a 1 X 4 X 4 feet is 1 and 1/3 board feet.

Another thing - it is designated as 4/4 as opposed to one inch because for whatever thickness is starts as, it will yied 1/4 less when finished out.

4/4 becomes 3/4
5/4 becomes 4/4

etc.

Not to say that careful surfacing of a 4/4 board will not yield thicker than 3/4, just not guaranteed to do so.

Man I must not be to bright today cuz I think I just got more messed up then I was before. Is there a website that might help?

Cubic measurement of rough wood. One inch thick (4/4) x 12" long by 12" wide is one board foot. 2 inch thick (8/4) by 12" long by 6" wide is one board foot. 2 inch thick by 6" long by 12" wide is one board foot. See how it goes?
