About Our Mission

Welcome to the home of the Board Foot Calculator. We started this project with a simple, yet powerful, idea: to create the most intuitive, accurate, and user-friendly tool for woodworkers of all skill levels. Whether you're a hobbyist planning your first project or a professional managing a large-scale operation, we believe that calculating lumber volume should be the easiest part of your job.

Our journey began in a small workshop, surrounded by the scent of sawdust and the hum of machinery. We, as woodworkers ourselves, experienced the common frustration of dealing with complex calculations and costly material estimation errors. The standard formulas are straightforward, but applying them correctly amidst the chaos of a busy project schedule, while accounting for nominal vs. actual sizes and waste factors, can be a real headache. We knew there had to be a better way.

We set out to build a calculator that wasn't just functional, but a genuine pleasure to use. Our focus is on clean design, mobile-first accessibility, and lightning-fast performance. We believe that a good tool should feel like a natural extension of your own skills, empowering you to focus on what you love most—the craft itself.

This website is more than just a calculator. It's a resource hub built for the community. From our in-depth guides on lumber measurement to our frequently asked questions, every piece of content is crafted to help you build with confidence. Thank you for trusting us with your calculations. We're excited to be a small part of your creative process.
