Thanks Dave. I did read about board feet when I searched the topic and realised it was specific to Canada and U.S. So the principles are the same though. You calculate the pieces you need, multiply it all together to get a total cubic foot (or whatever measure you need) and multiply by the price.
I guess as this is my first venture into buying hardwood timber, I have found the process is totally different than rolling up at the local hardware store and picking up some lengths of pine.
