Numbers are just made up. I'm not sure what's in the rack, could be ambrosia maple, Q/S sycamore, walnut, bloodwood, Braz. cherry, purpleheart (I'm sure of that)... There had been some yellowheart and tigerwood but they are smaller pieces. Some are small boards, some are larger. I hope to have someone tall enough to help me get it down to see what's there this week. Though I'm not sure I'll recognize it when I see it.W x L x T / 144 = bf
9 x 99 x1 = 891 / 144 = 6.1875 bf. x $12.70 = $78.58
Here's a calculator - Board Foot Calculator
$12.70 - Pretty fancy! What species?
Converting to inches is what was tripping me.Like Pete said.......... easiest to convert to inches, then do the math.
Yes understood. Take feet multiply by 12 = converted to inches then once you have a total, then divide by 144 [(sqft) 12x12=144]Converting to inches is what was tripping me.
What's the "x2"?48"(4') x 30"(2.5') x 2 = 1440 ÷ 144 =20 bd ft plus
(36 (3') x 30 (2.5') x 2 = 15 bd ft 7.5 a side= 15
Did not count the backing board or door fronts
add the 2 and it = 35 bd ft for the cabinet carcass
Front and back plus 2 sides = the parts to buildWhat's the "x2"?
True enough. I don't like paying retail all the time but we have to realize as well that paying retail or close to it, is what keeps the store in business so we can have the other things we need later that the store carries.@cskipper - The easy answer with a "pile" of wood is to say "I would like $XX for it" and understand someone has to take it piece by piece and load it, so you may not realize the amount of money (you) value the wood for, but you get some money for it and the buyer is happy with the amount they paid you and the cost of their sweat equity...

Jim, @Westpacx3,True enough. I don't like paying retail all the time but we have to realize as well that paying retail or close to it, is what keeps the store in business so we can have the other things we need later that the store carries.
How much is it currently holding.Front and back plus 2 sides = the parts to build
did you mean how much wood will it hold inside?
So, same thing ... measure length * width * height / 144 = Board feetHow much is it currently holding.
I know, but I have no idea of whether to charge $25 or $250 (obviously somewhere in. between). I thought having a clue what's there might help.@cskipper - The easy answer with a "pile" of wood is to say "I would like $XX for it" and understand someone has to take it piece by piece and load it, so you may not realize the amount of money (you) value the wood for, but you get some money for it and the buyer is happy with the amount they paid you and the cost of their sweat equity...
