Board footage is a measure of volume. The formula to calculate board footage is: thickness (in inches) x width (in inches) x length (in feet) all divide by 12. So in your case (2" x 6" x12') divided by 12. So 144 divided by 12 equals 12.

Definition of board feet is W x T x L / 144. Simple way is 2"x 6" = 12", or 1', times 12'. Your answer is 12 board feet.

The board feet of any piece of lumber can be found by multiplying thickness in inches by width in inches by length in feet divided by 12. Thus, in your case, 2x6x12 divided by 12 equals 12 bf.

One board foot is 1" thick, 1' wide and 1'long.
2 (inches wide) * 0.5 (feet wide) * 12 (feet long) = 12 board feet.

Each lineal foot of a 2X6 is a board foot. So a 12 footer is 12bf.
