This calculator is designed to provide approximate weights for many different wood varieties, but seasoned with the expected and logical variables. Wood can vary considerably in weight based on numerous factors, including area, climatic conditions, cutting time, age and many other conditions. Anycalculator's objective is to give a reasonably good approximation. Enter the number of cords of logs, then select the variety. Click on Calculate for the resulting approximate green weight.

This is a stack of wood 4 ft. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. containing approximately 128 cubic feet of bark, wood and air space. Air space can actually be as high as 40 percent but usually averages 25 percent. You can see where weight can be advantageous here. Pulpwood purchases by weight are very common and weight per cord varies widely with species and geography. A hardwood pulpwood cord generally weighs between 5,400 pounds and 6,075 pounds. A pine pulpwood cord weighs between 4,700 pounds and 5,550 pounds. You really need to determine your local average weight by species when measuring cordwood. Purchasing mills or men who harvest pulpwood can give you wood weights for your area. The U.S. Forest Service or your State Forester also has a wealth of information on regional average weights. Pulpwood bought in the form of chips are separate issue and for another discussion.
