Yes - a cubic metre of wood is called a stere - derived from the French word stère, meaning "a cubic metre" - from which the French word stèrer also derives, meaning "to measure in cubic metres".
A stere is equal to a cubic meter and is used to measure wood in Europe. A cord, used in the United States, is 4' deep x4' tall x8' long of cut wood. There are 0.276 cords in a stere or, conversely, 3.625 steres in a cord. Most wood burning stoves now take 16" lengths of wood ("cordwood"), so it is common to buy wood for heating and cooking in units of 1/3 cords, 16"x4'x8'--16" being 1/3 of 4' (48").
