Got the board foot blues! (Help!)

I have no idea why I find board feet so confusing....:confused:



I'm pricing out some cabinet doors.

I have 14 doors I want to make.

I want to use raised panels.

I want to use 3/4" stock.



I want the doors to use 2" rails and stiles.

The total width of each door is 17" - as measured from the outside of each stile.

The total length of each door is 29.75" as measured from the outside of each rail.



I come up with 3.51 board feet for each door for the raised panels for a total of 49.14 BF. (17" wide by 29.75 long = 505.75/144 = 3.51 x 14 doors = 49.14)

I come up with 14.28 board feet for the rails and stiles. ( 17" x 2 (34) plus 29.75 x 2 (69.5) = 93.5" (long) x 2" (wide) =187 X 14 (doors) = 2618/144 = 14.28)



18.1 +38.61 = 52.89 BF plus 30% - 68.75 BF



Is this right?
