This tool will help you easily calculate the board footage of logs based on their dimensions.
Log Board Foot Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the volume of a log in board feet, a unit of measure for lumber.
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter the length of the log in feet.
- Enter the diameter of the small end of the log in inches.
- Click on “Calculate” to get the result.
How It Calculates the Results:
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate the board feet:
Board Feet = (Diameter 2 * Length) / 144
Where diameter is in inches and length is in feet.
Limitations of the Calculator:
- It assumes the log is a perfect cylinder, which may not be accurate for irregularly shaped logs.
- Environmental factors like wood type, moisture content, and log defects are not considered.
