HI,
I've seen board feet programs but I'm afraid I toss them as fast as they show up. I'm stuck more in 19th century techniques. But here's what I'd do. Figure out how much actual board footage you'll need for a face frame or door. Then add 25-35% for waste, then add 10% for luck, and you'll still probably be short but you'll be close. Good luck.
