Volume (lumber) converter
Board feet, cords and the units timber is sold in. 7 units, converted from one table of exact factors.
—
1 cubic meter in every other volume (lumber) unit
Computed by the same engine that runs the converter above, so these can never drift apart from it.

What each unit actually is
Most converters give you a number and stop. Where a figure is exact by definition we say so, and where it is an average or shifts with conditions we say that too — that is usually the thing you needed to know.
| Unit | Symbol | What it actually is |
|---|---|---|
| cubic meter | m³ | |
| board foot | FBM | A foot square and an inch thick — nominal, so it rarely matches the milled size. |
| thousand board feet | MBF | How lumber is traded. |
| cubic foot | ft³ | Exact. |
| cord | cd | A stack 4 × 4 × 8 feet. Firewood. |
| cord feet | cd-ft | An eighth of a cord. |
| cunit | cunit | A hundred cubic feet. |
