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 Steres
The stere (st) = exactly 1 m³ - a metric firewood unit from the 1793 French Republican system. Still used colloquially in France, Germany, and Switzerland: Ster/Raummeter (stacked m³), Festmeter (solid m³ = fm), SchΓΌttraummeter (loose chips ≈ 0.4 fm). One stacked stere contains ≈ 0.5-0.7 m³ of actual solid wood. 1 stere = 1 m³ = 35.315 ft³ ≈ 424 bf.
