Hey Florian
As Johan stated, lumber is sold in the US in Board Feet.
One cubic yard would be equivalent to 324 board feet.
Using your conversion one cubic meter would be 424.44 board feet.
1″ Red Oak runs about $4.00 a board foot. White Oak is slightly higher in price. Quartersawn for either is roughly double those prices.
So, that would mean a Cubic Yard of Red Oak would run about $1697.76.
I don’t know the current rate for Euros to Dollars, but I believe it is about 1.4, that would make the equivalent about 1200 Euros per yard.
If all those conversions are correct, the pricing structure seems to be similar.
Now I have a headache.
