How do you figure the tonnage of a log ?

weight it.

or get the volume Cylinder Volume = p · r2 · height

and then multiply by

for green wood - 55 pounds/cubic foot
for dry wood 33 pounds/ cubic foot

This will give you a decent number

I knew I had come across this link before. Just spent 1/2 hr. searching until I found it again. Hope the link comes out.
