Bert a board foot is a plank of wood that measures 1 foot x 1 foot x 1 inch.
Check this ouit on how it is applied to trees. http://www.nres.uiuc.edu/outreach/pubs/ifmn/32.pdf Dave O. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bert & Edmunda Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 3:45 PM To: Small-scale live steam discussions Subject: [SSLiveSteam] Board feet to all, Sorry to get away from the direct subject of steam, but I have been looking at some logging engine photos for a new project. I noticed the tree trunks being hauled by the logging engines were referred to in "board feet" eg "56000 board feet". I thought I must be the only one who did not know what this is and cautiously asked a couple of people. Now I'm wiser and realize that I'm not the only one who does not know what a board foot is. Can anyone please help with this measurement? sorry for getting off the subject of steam but.... Thanks in anticipation Bert in Austria. ------------------------- Bert & Edmunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ SSLiveSteam mailing list Send messages: [email protected] Cancel subscription: http://postfix.45mm.com/mailman/listinfo/sslivesteam Rules: http://www.45mm.com/sslivesteam_guide.html _______________________________________________ SSLiveSteam mailing list Send messages: [email protected] Cancel subscription: http://postfix.45mm.com/mailman/listinfo/sslivesteam Rules: http://www.45mm.com/sslivesteam_guide.html
