Board feet of lumber at a retail level has not been in use in the USA for probably 40 years or more. It is occasionally used if a retailer is buying 400,000 board feet from a mill and even then I have not heard it used in the industry for maybe 2 decades. But to answer your question, depending on waste and a perfect board, a actual sized 2"X20"X16' or 56 board foot of clear stika spruce will get you a stretched KR-2. Boards that wide and that thick tend to crack when dried. Also when ordering a 2" thick piece of lumber, it's actual size will be 1 1/2" and that 20" width will actually be 19 1/4". You must be sure to specify what the finished size must be. If I were you, I would reconsider such a large piece of timber and go with several smaller pieces.
