Board Foot Weight Calculator

Convert board feet to weight based on wood species and moisture content. Essential for shipping, structural calculations, and material handling.

Weight Calculator

Calculate weight from board feet and wood species

Note: Weights are approximate. Actual weight varies by specific gravity, moisture content, and wood condition. Green lumber (>19% MC) weighs significantly more.

Moisture Content

  • Green: 50-100% (freshly cut)
  • Air-dried: 15-20%
  • Kiln-dried: 6-12%

Wood Density Ranges

  • Softwoods: 20-35 lbs/cu ft
  • Hardwoods: 35-55 lbs/cu ft
  • Exotic: 40-70 lbs/cu ft

Weight Factors

  • Species density
  • Moisture content
  • Specific gravity
  • Wood condition

Vanliga frågor

How much does a board foot of oak weigh?
Red oak at 12% moisture content weighs approximately 3.75 lbs per board foot. White oak is slightly heavier at about 3.9 lbs/BF.
Does moisture content affect weight significantly?
Yes! Green lumber can weigh 2-3 times more than kiln-dried. Water adds significant weight. A board at 50% MC weighs much more than the same board at 12% MC.
How do I calculate shipping weight?
Calculate total weight, add 10-15% for packaging/pallets. Standard pallet holds ~2,000 lbs. Full truck load is typically 40,000-45,000 lbs.
