This might be useful if you've got time to look through it. It's the Forest Mensuration Handbook, all 280 pages! Things like stacks are covered from page 27 - 35.

You'll also find cord to m3 conversion factors on page 198

 

Hi Paul,

 

Brilliant, thank you. Will have a look through!

 

Cheers!

This stack is about 4' high and the logs are about 4' long.
Look at the gaps.
If you had big straight logs you'd get a better return.
But you will always have air with cordwood as its rarely straight.

The traditional Breton way is to have a 3m3 cord of 1m logs stacked.
Walk along the top with a big saw 3' bar down the middle.(not recommended)
Use a plank to make life easier.
As you cut, the stack drops considerably.
Have to top it up to make 3m3.
