I recently bucked a wind blown hard maple into fire wood. At the base it was 24 inches in diameter. It was 52 feet long, tapering to 11 inches. I used the weight of wood charts posted elsewhere on AS to figure the weight of some of the 16 inch rounds that I had cut. I am guessing at just short of a cord. I figured the volume of the biggest round which was 24 inches in diameter and 16 inches long and the volume of the smallest round which was 16 inches long and 11 inches in diameter and averaged those two figures. That figure was 2.45 cubic feet per round on average. I had cut 42 rounds. That would equal about 102 cubic feet of firewood. A cord is 128 cubic feet.
I don't plan on stacking it to see.
With the tree top added in I think there would be over a cord.
Any math people on here have an insight on how to figure the volume/cords in that tree?
Thanks
