ft.
There are several methods of measuring lumber.

The general rule is to multiply the length in feet by the width and thickness in inches and divide by 12, thus: 1" x 6" x 15' / 12 = 7-1/2 feet.

The use of the Essex board-measure and the Lumberman's board-measure are described in Chapter 4, pp.

109 and 111.
