About these units
Board Foot (board foot)
A board foot is a unit of volume used in lumber, defined as a board measuring 1 foot long × 1 foot wide × 1 inch thick, equal to 144 cubic inches, or about 2.36 liters. The unit reflects a material-centric approach to volume: rather than measuring empty space, the board foot measures solid wood content, crucial for pricing logs, boards, and woodworking materials. Forestry operations, sawmills, and lumber yards rely heavily on board-feet calculations to estimate yields from logs, determine pricing, and evaluate timber resources. The unit persists due to deep integration with North American construction and carpentry practices.
Gill (US) (gi)
The US gill equals 118.294 mL, representing one-quarter of a US pint. Historically used in measuring alcoholic beverages, the gill once played a significant role in tavern regulations, distilling, and bartending. Its usage declined sharply after Prohibition and continued to fade as ounces and milliliters became preferred for drink recipes and consumer packaging. However, some old cocktail manuals still specify gills, and certain traditional American spirits were originally bottled in gill-based volumes. The gill illustrates the rich historical diversity of volumetric units in American culinary and beverage culture.
