About Cord feet
A cord foot = 1/8 cord: a stack of firewood 4 ft wide × 4 ft tall × 1 ft deep = 16 ft³ = 0.45307 m³. Used in New England pulpwood purchasing and regulated by NIST Handbook 44. Actual solid wood content is only 60-80% of the nominal volume - the rest is air space between logs. 1 cord foot = 16 ft³ = 0.45307 m³ = 1/8 cord.
About Cubic metres
The cubic metre (m³) is the SI unit for all international timber trade and FAO forest statistics. Global roundwood production > 4 billion m³/year (2022); sawnwood ≈ 500 million m³/year. European C24 structural timber priced in EUR/m³; CLT mass-timber buildings use 500-2,000 m³ of panels. FSC/PEFC chain-of-custody tracks certified fibre in m³. 1 m³ = 1 stere = 35.315 ft³ ≈ 423.8 bf.
