What is the history of the board foot?
The board-foot is a specialized unit of measure for the volume of lumber in the United States and Canada. It is the volume of a one-foot length of a board one foot wide and one inch thick.Board-foot can be abbreviated FBM (for "foot, board measure"), BDFT, or BF. Thousand board-feet can be abbreviated as MFBM, MBFT or MBF.In Australia and New Zealand the term super foot or superficial foot was used to mean the same.[1][2][3]One board-foot equals:1 ft × 1 ft × 1 in12 in × 12 in × 1 in30.48 cm x 30.48 cm x 2.54 cm144 in³1⁄12 ft³2360 cm³2.360 liters0.002360 cubic meters or steresBoard foot is the unit of measure for rough lumber (before drying and planing with no adjustments) or planed/surfaced lumber. An example of planed lumber is softwood 2x4 lumber one would buy at a large lumber retailer. The 2x4 is actually only 1+1⁄2 × 3+1⁄2 in (38 × 89 mm) but the board footage for the lumber when purchased wholesale could still be represented as full 2x4 lumber, although the "standard" can vary between vendors. This means that nominal lumber includes air space around the physical board when calculating board feet in some situations, while the true measurement of "board feet" should be limited to the actual dimensions of the board.For planed lumber, board-feet refer to the nominal thickness and width of lumber, calculated in principle on its size before drying and planing. Actual length is used.See dimensional lumber for a full discussion of the relationship of actual and nominal dimensions. Briefly, for softwoods, to convert nominal to actual, subtract ¼ inch for dimensions under 2 inches (51 mm); subtract ½ inch for dimensions under 8 inches (203 mm); and subtract ¾ inch for larger measurements. The system is more complicated for hardwoods.An Essex table is a tabulation of the number of board feet in lumber of varying dimensions.[4]

Explain The Difference between "Actual Size" and "Nominal Size"?
The **"actual size"** refers to the true, precise dimensions of a product or material after manufacturing, while the **"nominal size"** is the label or standard size used for identification and may differ slightly from the actual size due to trimming or finishing processes. For example, a 2x4 piece of lumber has a nominal size of 2 inches by 4 inches, but its actual size is typically 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches.
