Estimating volume of loose piled logs?

[paddyvero]

Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to estimate volume of a large pile of split loose thrown firewood? 

[Alycidon]

Pile looks about 20 yards long, 6 to 8 feet wide ,  I would estimate 15 - 20 cube, heap looks bigger at the far end.

 

I find that there is always more timber in stacks that I think though.

Half base length times height times length  for low estimate

PI times height squared times length times 0.5 for high estimate

Thats the kind of thing I was looking for. Lets hope its closer to the high estimate, but gives me something to work with. Thanks.

Thats a fair amount of logs you've churned out with that wee Splitter! Impressive.

Thats last years pile actually. This years is a fair size bigger already.

Hi Paddy, how do you find the Wallenstein? What model is it, looks like a 540?

Is that a 1-hand operation conversion I can see?

Thx
