LUMBER
Dried Stock Lumber List
All lumber is offered for sale on a
Board Foot (Bd. Ft. or BF) Basis. This unit of measure uses rough sawn
thickness, in 1/4" increments, prior to any machining. Rough lumber is
always referred to in quarters of an inch (i.e., four quarters - 4/4 = 1" rough
sawn, five quarters - 5/4 = 1-1/4", eight quarters - 8/4 = 2"). Minimum rough
thickness is 4/4 or 1".
In practice, board foot calculation is simply the square feet of surface
multiplied by the thickness and can be computed as follows:
Width in inches x length in feet divided by 12 x thickness = Board
Foot
For example:
A board measures 9" wide by 8' long and is 1-1/2"
thick.
Calculation would be 9 x 8 divided by 12 x 1.5 = 9
Board Feet (BF).
When lumber has been surfaced, it is always
referred to by an exact size. (i.e., 13/16" or 1-1/4"). The board
footage is calculated from its original rough dimensions.
The lumber listed below only represents what is
currently stocked. We also handle many other species for a wide variety of
customers and would be glad to quote your needs on any other type of lumber.

For the chart to the right, this lumber
has been dressed and ripped oversize and then run through the
moulders to assure a straight flat product. If you don't have
a lot of equipment or want to save time, this is for you.
X - denotes normally stocked.
By maintaining a remarkably diverse inventory of
foreign and domestic lumber species, we are uniquely positioned
to supply our broad customer base.
Monteath's modern processing equipment and large warehouse complex permits careful inspection and handling of many valuable domestic and
foreign species. Manufacturers continually rely on Monteath to help
provide efficient inventory control by taking advantage of services that include
specified width and length selection, "European" bundle tally and "post-kiln
drying" lumber inspection. Traditional "Exotics" continue to be an
important segment of Monteath's lumber inventory. New domestic and foreign
lumber species are regularly added into our inventory, which keeps our name at the
top of most wood user inquiry lists.
