Anyone have a method for figuring what you are going to get out of a log in terms of cord measurement. form example a stacked cord is 128 cu. ft. But that number includes the volume of the voids between the pieces. So let's say I have a log that measures 10' x 2' average diameter. that comes out to 31.4 cu ft. of wood or .245 cord. But once you stack that ,245 cord, it takes up a lot more space.
that my friends is the question- what is the best "fudge factor" to multiply the actual log volume to come up with a good "split cord volume. Just did a You Tube search and couldn't find any good info.
