So I took a gander at a high-end wood retailer today at lunch and came across some stuff that I can't figure out. Some boards were sold as $x.yy per board foot and others were sold as $x.yy per square foot. Why the differences? It appeared as though the 1/2 boards were all sold square foot and the 4/4, 8/4, and 16/4 boards were sold board foot. What exactly is a board foot? I'm presuming that's what BF meant on the price - and none of the wood was dimensioned.
