TRACEABLE INPUTS
Sources behind the estimates
A useful number starts with a clear basis.
Reference pages and what they contribute
Reviewed November 3, 2026. These resources informed feature coverage. Their numbers are not all interchangeable: species, surfacing, moisture, rounding and commercial tally conventions differ. Original text and calculations here explain the selected basis.
Engineering ToolBox
Generic dry, green and treated dimensional-lumber comparisons; rounded reference values.
Timber Build
Actual-dimension entry, adjustable moisture scenarios and printable estimates.
Omni Calculator
Species, volume, per-piece and total-weight workflow. Densities here retain their own documented condition.
Dumpsters.com
Linear-foot debris estimation and disposal planning. Container selection still needs local provider confirmation.
Architectural Woods
Commercial rough/S2S shipping factors at approximately 7% moisture; selected values used in the tally tool.
Crate Pro
Packaging workflow, board-foot versus linear-foot basis, and KDAT distinction.
Hood Distribution
Selected thickness-specific panel weights in lb/ft²; no interpolation between panel types.
BlueGrassGifts
Board-foot input, size-based quick answers and moisture context.
The original species library retains its USDA and research-sample sources. Read the calculation methods and species evidence. Manufacturer documentation and measured shipments take precedence over a generic planning preset.
