270 A MANUAL FOR NORTHERN WOODSMEN 



VOLUME TABLE No. 13. PEELED POPLAR IN CORDS 

 (Adapted from Report of N. H. Forest Commission for 1906-7) 



Based on 289 trees cut for pulp wood. All diameter 

 measures except diameter breast high taken on the wood 

 surface after peeling off the bark. Original figures in 

 cubic feet, converted into cords at the ratio of 90 cubic 

 feet solid wood per cord. 



TABLE 14. SECOND GROWTH HARD WOODS IN CORDS 



From study by Harvard Forest School on oak thinnings. 

 Wood used up to 2 inches in diameter. 80 cubic feet 

 solid wood per cord. 



The study showed that when the bolts from the trees 

 3 to 5 inches in breast diameter were piled by themselves, 

 there were 250 bolts and 67 cubic feet in a cord ; wood 

 from the 5- to 7-inch trees piled together gave 173 bolts 

 and 79 J cubic feet; from the 7- to 9-inch trees, 133 bolts 

 and 91 cubic feet.
