Reference
How volume - lumber conversion works
Lumber volume uses conventional forestry and construction units alongside metric volume. Values are normalized to Cubic meter before conversion to the requested output unit.
Values are converted to cubic meter first, then from that reference into the requested unit. Keeping a single documented reference reduces inconsistent pair-by-pair constants.
