I believe this will help......Cubic foot volume of cordwood (D = average diameter)
Solid volume of rough wood in Cu. Feet - 4(D-6)
Stacked volume of rough wood in Cords - 4(D-6)/100
Pulpwood stumpage value per tree - 4(D-6)/100 times price/cord
Number of Trees/Standard Cord - 90/4(D-6)
See attached photo of table also..hope this helps....I would imagine you would want to convert cu.ft. to tons at some point? Average weight for pine is 12,666 pounds per thousand board foot. And about 5,000 pounds per cord.
