Was curious about the weight of some wood I cut and found this website. Pretty interesting.

Well... that's a new one on me. Is that like a baker's dozen?RAMSAY said:Around here people sell a lot of wood by the loggers cord .. 4'x8'x8'...
I'm a yooper what can I say..I forgot to mention.there's a Yooper cord... thats measured by the truck load 4x8 box heaped fullRAMSAY said:I know it's should be 4x4x8 ... don't tell my logger.. I bought a loggers cord from him a couple of years back that was 4x8x8 ? ...Anyone want his #??

A cord is 128 cubic feet. Usually stacked 4x8x8 but how you stack it doesnt matter as long as its the same volume. Unless specifically stated otherwise that should be what we are talking about.
Never heard of 'loggers cord'. Maybe that means its a cord of wood cut by a logger. LOL. Atleast he is using the right amount though. I think I'll start calling my cords Ohio Cords. I'll make em 130 cubic feet just to be better than the rest of you using just them normal cords. ;-P
We have a few around here. I dont recall ever seeing it before we moved into our current house, the neighbor has one in is backyard and I think I have seen a total of 2 down our road. Problem is thats all I have ever seen. And they werent big trees either, could probably fill a heaping wheelbarrow, not like a 20" plus cherry or oak that 50-75 foot tall or more. So I'll probably have to scratch that one off the list as I'll probably never burn it.GolfandWoodNut said:Other than the Osage Orange, never saw that stuff around here.

RAMSAY said:I know a full cord,I just thought that web site could of been a bit more specific? Around here people sell a lot of wood by the loggers cord .. 4'x8'x8'...so that should weigh double from that chart?

Shari said:Of course you meant 4x4x8 equals 1 cord 128 sq ft
not 4x8x8

How can it be more specific. It clearly says, right there in the website, that a chord is 4 ft x 4 ft x 8ft = 128 cubic feet. Pretty clear to me. ---
A cord is a stacked unit volume of wood measuring
4 x 4 x 8 feet
= 128 cubic feet
This volume includes bark and air space. Due to the irregular shape of wood the air space in the cord can be as high as 40 percent. The net cord volume can therefore be as low as 75 cubic feet. In general net cord volume range 80 - 100 cubic feet.
