A piece of wood 1" thick by 12" wide by 1' long, or the equivalent volume. The width and thickness are often planed down some.

So, let's say you have a 6" wide board 2' long and 1" thick. That is 1 board foot.

Or, let' s say you have a 6" wide hunk of lumber 2" thick and 1' long. That is 1 board foot.

Or, to get out of the box, here, say you have a 4" by 4" hunk of lumber that is 0.75 feet long (9") long. That is 1 board foot.

In other words, if you multiply the width in inches by the thickness in inches by the length in feet, you have the number of board feet.
