A board foot is one square foot by one inch thick or 4 quarters (4/4). If you were using something thicker, then the square footage provided would be proportionately less. I.e. 8/4 lumber would yield half the square footage but would be twice as thick (2").

So, using 4/4 lumber would mean 2000 board feet for the house assuming no waste.

How many trees does it take to build a building?

How many trees it takes to build a house depends on the size, style and finish of the house. It varies considerably. According to the Idaho Forest Products Commission, a typical 2000 square foot house requires 26,700 board feet. An "average" tree with a 20 inch diameter and 42 linear feet of usable wood generates approximately 260 board feet. Doing the math indicates about 102 trees for that house. Other organizations in the lumber industry state different numbers, some as low as 30 trees for a 1500 square foot house while some state 60 trees for a 2000 square foot house.
