Everybody, I'll type slow so you can read slow.The tree is not a pine. It is a Douglas-fir. Pseudotsuga menzizii. Oh my, I can't spell it anymore!Dougs, as we shall call it, are darn good firewood when seasoned properly. We don't have all the hardwoods so this is primo, second to Western Larch in likability. Since the OP is on the wet side of the cascades, Larch is not an option. OK, now a rule of thumb rough conversion of board feet to cords is, think of a regular sized log truck. Not the eastern kind but the kind you see going down the roads in Oregon. The gross scale of that log truck is around five thousand board feet. That translates roughly to 10 cords of wood. Visualize a log truck. How much of the trailer would that tree fill? 25%? 30%? That will give you a very rough idea of what you have. Or, you could scale it out and convert to cords.
