[QUOTE="egbert, post: 5958808, member: 9965"] careful here fellas Round timber is often traded by the cubic meter. and a cubic meter is generally very close to 1 tonne, so timber is nowadays often weighed onto the truck with a weigh cell on the crane. Softwood sawlogs are/were usually 'top diameter' measured, and volumes taken straight from tables supplied by HM stationary/FC dept. Those tables allow for a moderate taper, and species/long lengths with a greater taper will 'weigh heavy'. however, stack measure, and the contents of a crate, are something else, ranging from 50% of the overall stack (boney difficult to stack round timber) through to maybe 70-75% for well stack regular logs. (might go higher, but not my expertise) Stack measure will often be referred to in the deal.... '£xx per cubic meter on stack measured at y%' Retailing logs it's safer and fairer to stick to set agreed volume. (a net, a crate, a truck full to overflowing etc) Of course, you might want to discuss hardwood sawlogs traded in 'hoppus feet', but we'll save that for when we're older. (and yes they still are, EU or otherwise.) [/QUOTE]
