Board feet measure volume, not length. A long narrow board and a short wide board can have the same board feet if their total lumber volume is equal.
A board foot is a lumber volume measurement equal to 144 cubic inches.
There are 144 cubic inches in 1 board foot.
There are 12 board feet in 1 cubic foot.
Divide board feet by 12. For example, 60 board feet divided by 12 equals 5 cubic feet.
