And about 18" long? Your guess is good. Probably just under 1/4 cord.
with the bump in the length, brings it close to 1/4...
2' x 7.5' x 2' = ~ 30 ft3
20 inches / 12 inches /ft = 1.67 ft. a 15 inch diameter log has a radius of 7.5 in / 12 in/ft = 0.625 ft, and an area of 1.2 sq ft. 1.2 sq ft x 1.67 ft long = 2 cubic feet per log. 2 cubic feet x 11 logs = 22 cubic feet of solid wood. A cord is about 85 cubic feet of solid wood (128 cubic feet of stacked wood, which includes air space), so you have about 22 cu. ft /85 cu. ft./cord = 0.27 cords.
So, you have to split and stack it and measure the resulting stack, so we can see who did the calcs most accurately.

Put it this way....keep scrounging, you need more wood!
Ain't that the truth!Rest assured it always looks like more. Maybe stacked loose it might be close.
Got a few huge rounds of cedar from a vacant house. There are more there and some hardwood logs next door down. These houses will be torn down to build more expensive houses I presume.
Those bigger rounds look more like Norway maple to me.
No.... Buy a splitter.....this maple is really tough to split. I can only get a few splits off the outside. As I work my way in, it gets tougher and tougher. Should I let it dry out a little more?
