Board Feet Easy Calculator

The Board Feet Easy Calculator is a simple, and easy to use, application for calculating board feet. If you don't work with wood then this application is of no use to you. If you do have the need to calculate board feet, this easy to use calculator may be just what you're looking for. Simply enter the length, width, and thickness, and the calculator will tell you the board feet for the given dimensions. Optionally, you can specify the number of pieces, a waste percentage, and the cost per board foot, and the calculator will produce the total board feet, the board feet including waste, and the total cost.

Although there are other free board feet calculators - and I've tried them all - they either did not have all the options I needed, and/or had user interface quirks. So, I created my own. I use this calculator often and find it handy, so I want to share it with any other woodworkers that need an easy to use board feet calculator.

This calculator does not calculate the dollars properly check it. It does not work on the money side


Easy to use and great for any woodworker
Cownaugh

Enjoying the App, but if possible could there be a button on the project page for numerical or alphabetical order? Or the ability to move them ourselves without deleting? It’s great overall but when you have 100 species of wood and can’t find that one you are looking for because you add project once item comes in but then can’t find it months later because you added 20+ more species. Just a suggestion, I would definitely enjoy that in next update if possible. Recommending app to fellow wood workers.


Works Great / Easy To Use

I use it to calculate board foot when selling wood cut on my sawmill.


Incorrect

This calculator incorrectly calculates the cost per board foot. Be care using!


East to use!!

Love this app! It’s simple and easy to use. I tried a few others before settling in this app. It was the perfect one for a novice woodworker who just needed to be able to order the right amount of lumber for our projects.


Nice

It's nice for one or more of the same size board. If different sizes, then I guess you have to write it down to figure total cost of a project.


Simple & good!

Just came across this and loaded it on my iPad. It does what it is advertised to do, and it does it well. First reviewer would like to do an entire project on multiple panes, and that may come in the future, but as a wood worker, this calculator goes a long way to assist in planing a project and purchasing materials.


Very good
Spinferno

Great app and can't believe it was free. I would have given at least a buck. An improvement would be the ability to store boards to reach a total BF and then store the whole project. As well as storing pricing info from various suppliers. If you add those fetchers I will gladly pay $$

Pretty straight forward with no frills, like it!


Thickness
Nice Wood

Not sure how to use the thickness part? What does /4 mean? Can someone explain to me how to use the thickness part?
