This tool allows you to convert volume measurements from board feet, a unit used primarily for dimensional lumber, to cords, a unit used for measuring stacked firewood. It is useful for pricing, ordering, and inventory management across lumber and firewood sectors.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the volume value in board feet you wish to convert
- Select 'board feet' as the input unit and 'cord' as the output unit
- Click or tap the convert button to obtain the volume in cords
- Use the conversion result for pricing, ordering, or inventory purposes
Key Features
- Converts board feet to cord accurately based on standard industry definitions
- Provides easy input options for quick volume conversions
- Supports lumber and firewood volume measurement needs
- Browser-based convenience with no installation required
Examples
- 100 board feet equals 0.0651 cord

Common Use Cases
- Estimating lumber volume in terms of cord for firewood sales
- Pricing and ordering dimensional lumber against firewood volume measurements
- Managing sawmill and lumber yard inventory using different volume units
- Planning construction projects involving lumber quantities
- Small-scale forestry reporting related to firewood production
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the stacking method when interpreting cord volumes
- Consider the difference between solid lumber volume and stacked wood including air space
- Use this conversion as a guide rather than an exact comparison due to density and moisture variance
- Consult supplier or industry standards when pricing by board feet or cord
Limitations
- Board feet measures solid lumber volume, while cord includes air spaces in stacked firewood
- Volume equivalence can vary due to stacking technique and wood moisture content
- Direct volume comparisons may not reflect true material density differences
