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.

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.
