It looks like dense red wood so I'm guessing around 2 metric tons which is about 4,410 pounds.

45 lbs/cubic foot wet, 35 dry. Using Pi and all that good stuff you learned in the 9th grade.

More than it would after I put one of my Stiihs into it
. Without knowing if it's still green or not...no way to "guess" imo. I've tackled quite a few red oaks of that size over the past year or so...amazing the difference in the weight of similar sized logs from different trees. The 1/4 log that fell on my big toe last summer (and broke it) felt like eleventy hunderd pounds though  ps: Even if both are "dry/wet"...different trees (of the same species) seem to vary greatly from my experience.

Depends on the wood species and moisture content.
It's about 30 cubic feet, you can look up the density here. Wood Species - Weight at various Moisture Contents

That's a cool link Patrick. How come all the trees I seem to mess with are the heavies on that list
. Oaks (red/white), Hickory, and Sycamore...I "passed" on the bigger portions of the Sycamore fwiw...I still believe the species vary greatly even if wet/dry. I've had some 4' diameter trees (red oak) that were close to 200 years old, some much younger. The density/growth rings seem to vary from my experience. ps: I know "counting rings" is a rule of thumb...I always thought it was 1 ring per year...a "tree pro" recently told me that's not always the case...live and learn. |

Are you going to use it for firewood?
You might be able to get a few hundred bucks for that if you sell it to a mill that cuts wood for cabinetmakers.. We got money for some ash that was on land that we cleared in Vermont.... Also if someone offer you Sycamore for firewood.... run don't walk away...its a ***** to split, and doesn't burn very well.... A few years ago I was offered free firewood, just had to take it away from my friends.. house...Two truckloads of unsplit Sycamore... In hindsight my friends thinly veiled plan was to get me to help him clean his yard with an offer of free wood....I still have some of that wood ...hoping it will hurry up and rot

What's this weigh?
Hoping it will be a mantel
in our son and DIL's new home. It is cherry damaged in a storm two years ago. Have to get it around the house to a trailer and off to the mill. Thanks for the info. Last edited by widgeon13; 08-08-2014 at 01:36 PM.. |

You've got roughly 208 board feet in that log.
As a saw log it's worth about 187.00 If it's a veneer grade log it's worth about 624.00
