Convert Board feet to Cubic meters — Woodworking
Formula
m³ = board feet × 0.002359737216 (1 bf = 144 in³)
Why this matters in woodworking
A board foot is 144 cubic inches of lumber (nominally 12 × 12 × 1 in). It measures volume, not surface area, so a 1×12×12 in board and a 2×6×12 in board are both one board foot.
