Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the input value is correctly entered in board feet
Use the tool mainly as a guide due to contextual differences in unit definitions
Consider the approximate nature of the cor (Biblical) in historical analyses
Apply conversions carefully when bridging lumber volumes and dry agricultural measures
Use the results for comparative studies rather than exact material equivalence

Limitations

The cor (Biblical) value is approximate and may vary with historical estimates
Board foot measures lumber volume, while cor is used for dry goods like grain, limiting direct equivalence
Conversion does not account for differences in material type or measurement context
Values are estimates; avoid using conversion for precision-critical applications
