Weights and volumes of firewood 4 inches diameter outside bark or larger were determined for 247 hard hardwood and 257 soft hardwood trees from 5 to 28 inches diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) growing in the Southeast. Equations are presented for predicting the green weight of wood and bark and volume of wood in firewood greater than 4 inches diameter outside bark in the total tree above stump, in the main stem to 4-inch top, and in topwood above the saw-log top. Equations predict weight and volume of firewood using d. b. h. and total height, d. b. h. and height to 4-inch top, d. b. h. and saw-log merchantable height, and d. b. h. alone. Tables developed from equations show weight in pounds and volume in cords of firewood in a tree and its components by d. b. h. and height classes.
