Selling Logs to a firewood buyer

[blades]

A cord is a volume measurement of 128 cubic feet. in the case of a log/pulp cord most weights and measure departments allow for a 10% air gap loss in the solid volume so now you have 115.2 cubic feet. Cut split and stack likely lose another 10% so now you are down to 103.68 cubic feet. Let set for a couple years and shrinkage due to moisture loss is going to take away some more volume so lets say another 10% loss =93.312 cubic feet.
Again in the case of firewood splits most weights and measures departments spec 10% air gap in the volume measurement of 128 cubic feet. I that case with these numbers a tightly stacked cord of split firewood would exceed the actual hard volume of a pulp cord.

I don't know what a "Chord" is but I see it advertised all the time.

I don't know what a "Chord" is but I see it advertised all the time.

I get a chuckle out of it, too. A line between two points on a circle or curve is a chord. So if you split the outside off a round, the split line is a chord.

Start a new trend... "chord split" cordwood for twice the price.

A chord is also a series of musical noted struck all at once. Perhaps they are selling bundles of dismantled wooden piano slabs.

Oh Boy, Musical firewood, does it play something else besides Hiss,Snap, Crackel ,Pop? I do know the yelp yelp ( accompanied spiffy flashing colored lights ) sound when a jet engine is taking off in a living room though. Just no end to the fun one can have burning wood.
