To my mind, it's not a log until you can split it. So yes 4inch would be absolute minimum.

 

You can split sub 1" if you want to!

 

I'm going to set a definition now which hopefully will become a standard throughout the timber industry.

 

Cut the piece of wood in question into a 4' length.

Beat a chainsaw/tractor/dog/fuel/chipper stealing thief with it until he loses consciousness.

If you have to hold the wood with two hands its a log. If you can do it with one its a stick.

Had a lorry turn up to drop off cord at the beginning of October from a different source to normal and most of it was 50mm with the rest been under 100mm told him not to unload as it would not be worth cutting it up. For it to be split in two it had to be at least 5 inch other wise it's kindling.

Bang on. I'm tall so will try a 5' length. :thumbup:
