[gibby marr]

how do you work out the air ?

how do you work out the air ?

 

Genrally 55% wood if it's hardwood and

 

70% if its straight softwood.

 

Being pine I wobbled around the 65% mark.

 

It's all in the FC blue book...

 

If you want to be hyper accurate, top diameter it all - not a big stack.
