In the United States and Canada, firewood is usually sold by the full cord, face cord or bag.

 

A full cord or bush cord has a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.6 m3), including wood, bark, and air space in a neatly stacked pile. The actual wood volume of a cord may be in the range of 80 to 100 cubic feet (2.3 to 2.8 m3) as stacked wood takes up more space than a piece of solid wood. The most common firewood piece length is 16 inches (41 cm).

 

A face cord is one third of a full or bush cord stack of wood that is 4 by 8 ft (1.22 by 2.44 m) by 16 in (41 cm) and has a volume of 42.6 cubic feet (1.21 m3).

As a cord is a measure of volume of firewood used in the states and as we have generally accepted the cubic meter then should we not call it cubic meter wood.

Yes

Even on Woodlots people are starting to call it cordwood, next the Forestry Commission will be calling it cordwood (Not that they actually have any communication with the real world)

I have always sold cord wood by either the half or full cord. As Steve mentioned earlier

A cord measures 4x4x8. Most customers wanted the length of their cord wood either 18" to 24" in length. I never sold a face cord since it seemed silly to offer such a small amount at any price. Now I have had customers want to buy a Rick from me and I would tell them the same as a face cord, don't sell that quantity please don't ask. Keep cutting and splitting, Long live the Cord!

There's a small but notable difference between Cordwood and Cord Wood.
