Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an 8 ft oak log weigh?
An 8 ft oak log with 12" diameter weighs about 300 lbs. Oak density averages 47 lb/cu ft. Volume: (pi x 1^2 x 8) / 4 = 6.3 cu ft x 47 = 296 lbs.
What is the heaviest common log species?
Hickory at 50 lb/cu ft and white oak at 47 lb/cu ft are among the heaviest. Balsa at 9 lb/cu ft is the lightest.
How do I estimate log volume for weight?
Use the formula: (pi x diameter^2 x length) / 4 for cylindrical volume. For tapered logs, measure diameter at the mid-point.
