need help knowing cords in a log

[zsteinmetz]

I was in the woods the other day cutting and came upon a huge downed green ash tree. The butt was 3 feet in diameter and the top 18 inches not to mention 35 foot long. I know ive seen a website on how to calculate cord weight by diameters or circumfrence but cant seem to find. Any help would be appreciated.

I found this one it might work for ya remember 128 cubic feet per cord

I just went to the link and it was the mbf calculator click the timber toolbax at the bottom and there is a new cubic foot calculator there that is what I used and came up with 1.56 cords.

That is actually a nice calculator to have. Thanks!

Based on BF calculation from your measurements, there is 507BF International scale, rule of thumb, 500 BF of log yields 1 cord of split wood.
