How to Use
Step-by-step instructions
- 1Select the wood species.
- 2Enter the average diameter (inches).
- 3Enter the length (feet).
- 4The calculator will estimate the green weight.
Cylinder Volume & Density
Calculates the volume of the log as a cylinder and multiplies by the green wood density of the selected species.
Weight = (π × (d/24)²) × L × DensityVariables:

Red Oak Log
Inputs:
Species:Red Oak
Diameter:24 in
Length:12 ft
Steps:
- 1.Radius = 1 ft
- 2.Volume = π × 1² × 12 = 37.7 cu ft
- 3.Weight = 37.7 × 64 = 2413 lbs
Result:
2,413 lbs
