What do they Weigh????

[NordicSplitter]

Picked up some good size rounds of Black Locust the other day. They stand about 18" high and have a diameter of about 20". Went and got (2) 2x10x8's from the lumber yard to make a ramp for my minivan. They rolled up just fine and rolled down even easier. Couldn't lift them by myself, so I improvised with the ramp. With those dimensions....any guesses on how much they may weigh??? Grabbed 8 and that was all the minivan could hold. Going back for the other 7 in the morning.

A round of locust that size probably weighs around 100lbs or more each, if the wood is green. Great firewood, get all you can.

Somewhere this link & discussions was here.
Black locust, 20" 127 lbs per foot. 1.5 X 127 = 190 lbs (green)
Wood weight per 1 foot sections of green wood :

WOW, No wonder I struggled with those big oak rounds I scrounged last year, they were 24-30 inches in diamter and 18 inches long.

Heh heh. Yeah, I don't even mess with trying to move big ones any more, I just split 'em down to where I can carry the chunks.
