Turn a total length of board into pieces of stock you can pick off the rack.
How it works
Total feet plus your cut allowance ÷ stock length, rounded up. Board feet come from the size you enter.
Before you order
- Plan cut lists so offcuts get reused elsewhere in the job.
- Longer stock costs more per foot, so price it both ways.
- Stack lumber flat and stickered if it will sit before you use it.
