Value of softwood cord

[lgl]

No it's not sorry. Blue book (FC mensuration handbook) which is accepted norm is 0.7 for softwood and 0.55 for hardwood. A softwood stack occupying 100m3 will thus be 70m3 in timber allowing for air gap. Unless the timber is proper bananas the 0.7 is applied. Wiggly hardwood obviously = the 0.55. It has been known to sell hardwood on 0.55 and beautiful straight ash and sycamore turns up - that works very nicley in your favour.

 

That is species dependent both in softwood and hardwood. My comment was based on a load of Oak in the previous post . 50% stack measure is a fair assumption on Oak, converting it to hoppus , Oak averages 25 hoppus/ tonne whereas Sycamore , Ash averages 27/ 28 , Beech 25/26.

Yep always was 55% for hardwoods and usualy works out about right.Much prefer to buy by wieght with a wieghbridge ticket then every one knows where they are,no arguing over stack measures.

Cheers Chris.
