4 +8 | Thousand Board Feet |

mbf Thousand Board Feet Explanation: Thousand Board Feet (MBF) One board foot is wood that measures 1" x 12" x 12". Logs and lumber are measured by MBF or thousand board feet. MBF is determined by one of three major scaling rules: Scribner, Doyle, or International Rule. The board feet scaled for logs is an estimate only. The actual board feet yield depends on how the sawmill cuts the log. It is possible for a log to produce more board feet than was estimated producing an overrun.
