Hardwood Boards Rough Cut

The rustic appeal of rough hardwood boards is a great choice for your next home improvement or woodworking project. In addition, boards are “rough sawn,” meaning the surface and edges are rugged from being cut by a large saw. Therefore, prior to project use, plane the lumber for a smooth and flat finish.

Calculating Board Foot

Boards are available by the piece and the retail is calculated by the board foot. A board foot is 144 cubic inches of wood. To calculate board foot: width (inches) x length (inches) x thickness (inches) / 144 = board feet. Rough hardwood boards come in random widths and lengths.

• For example, a board that is 6.5″ wide x 120″ long x 5/4 thick will equal 6.77 board feet
• 6.5″ x 120″ x 1.25″ = 975 / 144 = 6.77

Rough boards are cut into different sizes based on the quality of the tree. For example:

• 4/4 board = approximately 1″ thick
• 5/4 board = approximately 1.25″ thick
• 6/4 board = approximately 1.5″ thick
• 8/4 board = approximately 2″ thick
