Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate log weight?
Cylindrical Volume = π × (Diameter / 24)² × Length × (Material Density)
What is the density of different wood species?
Oak (~47 lb/cu ft), Pine (~27 lb/cu ft), Maple (~47 lb/cu ft)
What moisture content affects weight?
Green or wet logs are heavier than kiln-dried ones. Approximate 10-20% difference in weight expected
Why does diameter matter for weight estimation?
Weight increases exponentially with diameter. A log twice the diameter weighs four times as much
What equipment do I need to move logs?
Small logs (<500 lb) manageable with hand tools. Larger logs require skid steers, winches, or cranes
