You should weigh in on the Crimean war thread more. You presumably remember the last one.

Yes the term cordwood is seldom heard in the forest nowadays, images of an old age pensioner standing all day behind a circular saw bench in some bleak wind lashed yard spring to mind, often belted off a fordson major.

It’s referred to as green sawlog ( dead straight), or red sawlog (bit knotty but quite straight) now. 
Whitewood can mean different things to different people, from softwood like spruce to hardwood like sycamore.
Roundwood is usually any kind of trunkwood.

I always associated "cords" and "cordwood" with the US, but never thought to ponder wot ussens here in the old sod called firewood in its various forms.

Thank you. Some very useful info there about lorry loads. I’d be happy to buy 20+ m3. 
funny about the cordwood, I thought that was the correct term for unseasoned, full length logs. What should I call it?

cheers,

Elliott. 

I get the ick whenever someone mentions cordwood. 🤮

 

Same as folk using the word burl for burr. Double ick. 😁🤮

I get it when people say they are going to " chop " down a tree with a chain saw .
