What Is This Tool?
This converter facilitates the transformation of volume measurements from cord feet—used for stacked firewood—to board feet, a standard measurement for dimensional lumber widely used in North America.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the volume value in cord feet into the input field
- Select cord feet as the input unit and board feet as the output unit
- Click the convert button to get the volume equivalent in board feet
- Use the result to assist with firewood pricing, lumber inventory, or project estimates
Key Features
- Converts volumes from cord feet to board feet using standard lumber units
- Supports accurate calculations for pricing, inventory, and construction planning
- Suitable for forestry, firewood retail, sawmills, and biomass energy applications
- Browser-based and easy to use without technical expertise
Examples
- 2 cord feet converts to 384 board feet
- 0.5 cord feet converts to 96 board feet
Common Use Cases
- Pricing and selling firewood by cords or fractional parts to customers
- Reporting wood-fuel consumption for heating and biomass energy systems
- Estimating lumber quantities for construction projects from firewood measurements
- Inventory management in sawmills, lumber yards, and firewood supply chains
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure firewood is tightly stacked to improve volume measurement accuracy
- Be aware that factors like wood species and moisture content can affect volume equivalency
- Use rounded conversion values for practical applications where extreme precision is not needed
- Cross-verify converted values for large-scale projects or commercial transactions
Limitations
- Cord feet measurement includes air spaces between stacked wood, unlike board feet which measures solid lumber volume
- Conversion assumes closely stacked wood with minimal air gaps for best accuracy
- Differences in wood type, moisture level, and stacking pattern can influence the conversion result
- The high-precision decimal in the conversion factor may exceed practical measurement requirements
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a cord foot in lumber measurement?
- A cord foot is a volume measurement based on the cord, a standard stacked wood volume of 128 cubic feet, used to quantify firewood in whole or fractional portions.
- How is a board foot defined?
- A board foot is a lumber volume unit equal to a board measuring 12 inches long by 12 inches wide by 1 inch thick, totaling 144 cubic inches or 1/12 of a cubic foot.
- Why convert from cord feet to board feet?
- Converting cord feet to board feet helps translate stacked firewood volumes into standard lumber measurements important for pricing, inventory, and project planning.
Key Terminology
- Cord Feet
- A volume measure for stacked firewood based on portions of a cord, where one cord equals 128 cubic feet.
- Board Feet
- A volume unit for lumber equal to a board 12 inches by 12 inches by 1 inch thick, commonly used in North America.
- Conversion Rate
- The factor used to convert values from cord feet to board feet, specifically 1 cord foot equals 192 board feet.
