Lumber for the Temple came as a result of labor in the pine
forests in Wisconsin. From 1841 to 1843, forty-four work crews harvested more
than 1.5 million board feet (one board foot is 1” x 8” x 12”) of lumber and
200,000 shingles, which were floated downstream as rafts, usually several
hundred feet in length and width. The trip took a week, sometimes two.
