What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows you to translate volume measurements from cords, which represent stacked firewood including air space, to board feet, a measurement for solid lumber volume used primarily in North America.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the volume value in cords that you want to convert.
  • Select 'cord' as your input unit and 'board feet' as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to get your equivalent volume in board feet.

Key Features

  • Converts cord units to board feet with a defined conversion rate.
  • Supports volume measurements specific to firewood and lumber industries.
  • Browser-based, easy-to-use interface for quick conversions.

Examples

  • 2 cords equal approximately 3072 board feet.
  • 0.5 cord converts to roughly 768 board feet.

Common Use Cases

  • Pricing and selling firewood by the cord in retail or wholesale.
  • Estimating heating fuel requirements from firewood deliveries.
  • Planning construction lumber needs or inventory management in sawmills and lumber yards.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion to bridge stacked wood volume measurements with dimensional lumber metrics.
  • Consider variations in wood stacking and species when interpreting results.
  • Apply conversions carefully in construction planning to estimate lumber quantity.

Limitations

  • A cord includes air space, so it does not equal solid wood volume directly.
  • Differences in wood moisture, species, and stacking affect conversion accuracy.
  • Conversion rate provides an estimate, not a precise solid wood measurement.
