How much wood do you think on this tree http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/mat/5202182141.html
He will never get 450, I offered him 150$ cut into 18" rounds
You must be desperate. You should be charging him for removal.
Here's what I got for $400:
That pile produced 15 truckloads when cut into 18" lengths. All the logs shown are about 100" long and together they filled three bunks on a truck picker before they were dropped at the site. Most was dry cottonwood from tree tops, 6" to 14" dia., that the sawmill had little use for. I processed it all into campfire wood bundles for the campers at the parks. Burned beautifully.
So, does that tree shown by OP look like it would produce 17 truckloads? [/QUOTE
Las Vegas is desert, enough
The only way to make your money out of that deal is to cut it up into 3-4" chunks and sell it to gullible grillers and bbq gurus in the north east. I saw roughly a 1 cubic foot bag of the stuff going for 10 bucks at the big box store.
Got it!The way I rough figure how much wood there is usually in normal conditions, a tree that is 22"-24" at the base will usually produce a cord, now of course there can be other circumstances to make it - or + a little, but that's how I estimate wood. It usually comes out pretty close.
