The top board in the first picture does look like WRC. Not sure about the lower one. How much does it weigh (need the dimensions as well).
A board foot is the US term for the Australian term "superficial foot" (or "super foot"). Either way it is a cubic measure equal to 144 cubic inches (imagine a prism 12" x 12" x 1"). So a 4 x 2 is one board foot every 18" of length.Cheers

Fair few people in Australia are using Paulownia. It is usually cheaper than WRC.
