Board foot (FBM)
A board foot (symbol: FBM, for foot board measure) is a specialized unit of volume used in the lumber industry of the United States and Canada. One board foot represents the volume of an ideal unplaned board measuring one foot long, one foot wide, and one inch thick, which equals 144 cubic inches or approximately 0.00236 cubic meters. Standardized in the nineteenth century, it remains the primary measure for volume pricing and trading of raw hardwood and softwood timber.
