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.
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.
