So a cubic foot would be a 6x6 2' long? In reality that red oak we sawed felt heavier to me then 256lbs, wood weight from our area is always interesting, what you have for northern white pine, hemlock, etc in 6"x6"x16'........
So to add more weight to the mix, my bridge in two panels of 6x6s, 5'x16', each panel is going to weigh in at around 2,560 lbs, add that together both panels on my trailer with about 6 or 7 oak, rest hemlock is going to weigh in at 5,120 lbs, over two ton on my trailer, ouch I might need a 4 wheel wagon oh no.......................
What is this world coming to when someone wants crooked cookies more then 2' wide boards..............

No. That would be 1/2 cubic foot. 6" = 0.5 feet. 0.5 X 0.5 X 2 feet = 0.5 cubic feet
Alternatively: picture cutting two 1 foot long 6"X6" and laying them side by side. You would now have a wood block 1 foot long x 1 foot wide x 6" high, which is half a cubic foot.
I believe that a 4 feet long piece would be a cubic foot,, but I could be mistaken. Keep in mind that we are talking about average weights, and wood weighs up better in summer if my memory serves me correctly.
I'm a little fuzzy right now as I don't do heat well, and the last two days have wiped me out.
:thumbsup: Well no wonder I'm always way off on my wood count calculations, another reason why I let my son do the sawing......
Yes that has to add up to a cubic foot. And yeah that kinda make sense to, cause when I'm hauling wood in the winter it always seem to pull so much easier then now, snow cant be the only reason for easier pulls.
If I'm buying I want your son to do the math. If I was selling logs, you're the man to talk to.
:laughing::laughing: Yes he's lot better then me on figuring, takes after his mother.
Last night I was thinking my 6x6x16' oak count was 11, and wanted an even number of 10 or 12 oaks for my bridge to no where, well since I counted 6- 6x6 oaks all stack at my shop and thought I had 5 oaks down the mill. So I went and cut one down but when I got out to the mill there was already 4 which makes 10, now I got this one and now I'm back at a odd number again, good griefing gravy, I cant have 6 on one panel and 5 on the other it might make my tractor go crooked.....
