how many m3 of cut and split oak would i get from 10 tons of cordwood?

 

 

thanks

 

If it is fresh felled its about a tonne to a solid cube so a solid cube will produce 1.4 to 1.6 cube so you will end up with 14 to 16 cube of loose logs.

I agree with this. Oak is one of the less profitable woods in this regard compared to Ash etc.

i would say oak weighing v. heavy and being so dense from our experience 10t would give you 12 -14 cubic bags, depending if you shake the bags, fil them to the top etc, we always shake ours several times when filling with the loadall and dome them full so that the next bag sits well ontop and doesnt sag.

 

it has happened that we have weighed out m3 bags with some oak and they weigh nearly a tonne! whereas sycamore will be more like 500kg drying to 300kg over summer.
