Frequently Asked Questions
Why calculate board feet for plywood?
Board feet helps compare the value of sheet goods vs. solid lumber. A 4×8 sheet of 3/4" plywood equals 24 board feet of solid wood.
How thick is 3/4" plywood really?
Actual thickness is often 23/32" (0.719"). This matters for joinery. Metric plywood (18mm, 12mm) has different actual dimensions.
Is plywood cheaper than solid wood?
Often yes, per board foot. But compare total project cost including waste. Plywood cuts may be more efficient than solid lumber.
