Now that you defined a "face cord" I kind of wish I would have heard of one.......Originally posted by slipshod

Thats the way i see it to :smiles: Now maybe come morning it would come in handy:lmao: :lmao:Originally posted by Merlin
That can't be what a face cord is, because there isn't any ugly women at closing time. Maybe before closing time.
A face cord is 4'W x 8'L x Whatever the length of firewood is cut.Originally posted by PeteNM
Where I come from a "cord" of wood is measured Length x Width x Height of a tightly ricked stack and must =128 cu. ft. regardless the length of the stick. A "rick" is measured Length x Width x Height of a tightly ricked stack and must = 64 cu ft. or half a cord. I've sold lots of loads and never had any complaints. In fact, I've had customers tell me that's more wood than they're accustom to receiving for a cord.
I've never heard of a "face cord" and sure wouldn't buy one. Maybe that's why my customers weren't getting a full cord....
Would that be the "Good old days" we keep hearing about?Originally posted by bigl22
a full cord is 4'x4'x8' tightly packed wood cut into 24" lengths -- a face cord is exactly 1/2 of that -- 2'x2'x8' of tightly packed wood cut into 24" lengths -- 24" is lenghth of wood used to feed into large sized old woodburning kitchen stoves -- bigl22 -- been almost 51 years-[ I was almost 2 yrs old.] since grandma said " warm your cold hands on the stove " and I set my hands down on the hot stove -- burnt hell out of them -- when older i chopped wood and carried coal for parlour stove -- long walk to outhouse in winter too !
I have always understood a face cord to be 4' high by 8' wide by whatever length the wood was cut...be it 16", 18" or whatever.Originally posted by bigl22

Argee, never heard of a bunk before. I thought that a stack of plywood 4X4X8 was a sh!tload of plywood!:lmao:Originally posted by Argee
Then why is a 4'x4'x8' stack of plywood called a "BUNK"???
