How many cords?

[Osage]

Was cutting some wood when I came across this Mullberry. Was nearly 5' across and probably 60' high. Normally the mullberry's don't grow that tall around here. There were limbs 20' up that were 2' in dia. It's a great old tree, plan to leave it. How many cords would you guess were in it?

I would bet over 4-1/2 cords of some very good fire wood....Now a big saw splitter and some man power!

I helped cut an oak 5' diameter and tall. It was part hollow though. It got us 4 cords.

Lotsa wood! I'm just happy you are not cutting it down....gotta love the old ones!

I would guess between 5 and 6. I did a huge oak last summer and got 5 cord just out of the branches. There is probably another 3 or 4 in the trunk, but I don't have a saw big enough to get the rest.
