Default Log | Timber | Weight Chart | double the diameter = quadruple the weight

Here's a log weight chart I pinched from Sherrill's. For Eucs just use the heaviest oak.

A rule of thumb to remember is when you double the diameter you quadruple the weight.

When you double the dia of a cylinder you quadruple the volume.

So if you have larger log then the chart shows just look for a dia 1/2 what your log is, find the value for it and multiply by 4.

Here's an online calculator for cylinder volumes, test it out for yourself.
