That's about 9,424.77 board feet.

I made a mistake in my first calculation (used the diameter in place of the radius).

The correct answer is 2,356.2 board feet.

Well...if it is that diameter(30 inches) for the whole log (40 feet), the log would yield over 1600 board feet. But I am betting that there is some decrease in the diameter as it rises. If you, or anyone else wants to figure these kind of things out, there is a link for a log volume calculator:

logging, Paul

Dem some big sticks, Jums.

If the diameter is really 30", the volume of a cylinder 40' tall would be 196.3495 cu ft. At 12bdft per cuft you've got 2356.194 bdft. Multiply that times 3 gives ya 7068.583 bdft.

Of course, this doesn't allow for conversion loss, grading loss, etc.

As it's Jummywood - the waste factor will be 100% ;o)

Y'all should try to help Jums out by being more specifical, LJ.

Jums has about 589 cubic feet of jummywood.

When he dries it out nice like, it'll be about 26 pounds per cubic foot, or about 15315 pounds.

At 1134 calories per pound, Jums will have about 17367210 calories of jummywood.

I'm guessing that's more than all our ex wives put together lost at Weight Watchers.

Maybe not.

not phunny Tom - not even close! :-)

Jums

[Jim Mc Namara]

Never capitallized larry - well then l.j. . . . . . just remember that Jummywood is a soft form of Jarrah. Beautiful - distinctive grain - and very easy on the sawblades. (you damn heathern!)

JUMS - (and that's MR. Jums to you jacques.) yup mispelled on porpoise!

[Jim Mc Namara]

Hrumph . . . . why you - you big - you . . . excommunicated Californican!

Jums

[Jim Mc Namara]

Damn straight "maybe not" Tom. This is fat free Jummywood. Therefore you must recalculate your figures - and go weigh-in your ex wives. (Please leave mine out of the mix - the last thing I want to see right now is and ex on a scale - unless of course it's a scale you weigh fish on whilst going off-shore!) :-)

Jums P.S. I noticed you failed to capitalize the word Jummywood in your response so I've managed to edit it for you. Please don't let this happen again. Show some respect! :-)

[Leon]

OK,, Jim congratulations.......where at?

[Tom Watson]

Dat be like sayin dat Momma Cass is a soft form of Marilyn Monroe.
