Can anyone tell me how much a cord of green maple, oak, and birch would weigh? Maybe even include poplar and beech? I know there are different species of each but I just need a general idea. Thanks.
Yes, Ian, that gets close. However, I do not know if these tables address green wood specifically. I would have to say that green wood adds an average of 20% in weight to these tables. Most water in the USA exceeds the density of the hardwood fibers being collected.Look at all the reference links at the top of the forum... your answer lies there.

That means my 20% figure is ultra conservative. We are probably looking at up to 50% in some species. Right, men?4900 pounds per cord on average, I know because I pay for log length by the ton.
The last one has what you are asking for.

try this one... it screwed it up when he bolded (boldized?) it.

That one says nothing about green wood (wood cut fresh with the tree still alive). Is that not true?2nd to last is the good one--
Fabulous! It also confirms my belief that dry honey locust is at the top with hickory and even exceeds both red and white oak. Considering how fast it grows compared to slower-growing trees, we should be harvesting this species as a major fuel wood.Here's a .pdf
