This is the unit of measurement for hardwood lumber when it's bought/sold in random widths and random lengths.
Board footage is a measurement of volume, and it's abbreviated Bd. Ft.
One board foot is equal to 144 cubic inches.
It's a fraction that refers to rough (RGH) sawn thickness of lumber, and it tells you approximately how many quarters of an inch make up the thickness.
Surfaced lumber is thinner because it started out as rough sawn but it's been planed smooth. Planing removes thickness.
| Rough Sawn (RGH) | Surfaced (S2S) | |
| 4/4 | ~1" | 13/16" |
| 5/4 | ~1-1/4" | 1-1/16" |
| 6/4 | ~1-1/2" | 1-5/16" |
| 8/4 | ~2" | 1-13/16" |
| 12/4 | ~3" | 2-13/16" |
Unless otherwise specified, our lumber is "Surfaced 2 Sides" or S2S for short.

If you can cut your own pieces to size, here's how we can help:
- Enter requirements into the order form where it says, "Minimum Size Request"
- Tell us what you want to acheive or make
- You will receive wood that can yeild what you need. (You will create the final size)
- We may need to contact you for clarification
You will cut and/or join your material to create the finished sizes you need. We'll pick out wood that will give you enough to do that. For this reason, the final amount of footage you receive in your order will be slightly different, and your final billed charge will be different.
If you want to only buy pieces of an exact size, that will be sold differently. Please contact us for a custom quote.
