Title: bush cord to mbf
Post by: deadeye on January 25, 2006, 05:24:47 PM
i'm sure someone has already asked this but what is and average comparison of mbf to bush cord in hard wood.  i want to calculate if it is better to sell it as firewood or sawlogs.

It varies from 2 to 3 cord per thousand, depends on who ya talk to. Our local marketing board always used 2 cord/th, but talking to some loggers they figured it was closer to 2.2 cord/thousand when dealing with softwoods. Try 2.5 ;D
