I finally got this one c/s/s and measured. I will give you a little more info in that it was 117' from base to top and there was no rot. How many cords of primo hickory do you think I ended up with?

I am an engineer so I can calculate the exact amount of firewood in that tree. I see 40 ft of trunk averaging 2 ft diameter. That is 1x1x3.14x40 = 120 cubic feet of solid wood or 1.5 cords. I also see 40 ft of 1 ft diameter trunk which yields 0.5x0.5x3.14x40 = 30 more cubic feet or about half a cord. That means there are two cords plus half a cord of the small stuff gives 2.5 cords total.
NIe. High BTu wood there
3.25 cords
Bogeydave is our winner with my final total being 3.23 cord. Because you won you get the chance of a lifetime to join me on 10/13 to help chip all the brush!

With hickory, it should be burned in a big fire, hot dogs & brawts.
