Mossy Tree Log

fun fact:

 

Two easy steps on how to calculate board feet of wood in a standing tree or log

 

(1) First measure the diameter of the tree (or log) at breast height and the height of the tree up to the minimum log diameter (where the tree is approximately 8" to 10" wide).

 

(2) Then input the following the formula and compute:

 

Area = radius^2 * π (PI) ([diameter/2]^2 * 3.14)

Cubic Feet = Area (ft) x Height (ft) / 4 (4 accounts for tree taper)

Board Feet = Cubic Feet * 12
