LUMBER WEIGHT REFERENCE
Rough and S2S lumber shipping weights
Convert selected commercial board-foot tallies using surfaced or rough shipping factors at their stated moisture basis.
Uses Architectural Woods averaged shipping factors at approximately 7% moisture. Factor: 3,650 lb per 1,000 board feet (MBF). This tally convention includes its own surfaced-stock allowance; it is different from multiplying actual physical board feet by density.
3,650 lb
1,655.61 kg · 3.65 lb per commercial board foot
For other species or thicknesses, use the source’s applicable factor or the actual-volume calculator with a documented density. Never apply both a surfaced allowance and an actual-volume deduction to the same tally.
