Not sure if anyone can answer this or not. I have been offered 30 rings of gum 40cm x 25cm but have no idea how many cube this would be split. I could buy 6 cube already split for $480 or the 30 rounds for $300 from someone else.

Dont quote me here but surely gum is easiest split when green so before buying you need to make sure that it has not been down for too long, otherwise you will have a mission on your hands

Try 4 years in a barn haha so possibly a good question.

If the rounds are 400mm diam by 250 long then 30 rounds will give you 0.942 cube. If the rounds are 250 diameter by 400mm long you will get 0.588 cube I don't think you would get five cubes of air in six cubes of split timber.

So 1cube out of 30 rings looks allot more than that.

Six cube of split is costing $80 a cube. The rings are costing $318 per cube. In my opinion there is no way that there is 4 times as much air as wood in a thrown stack of timber

Six cube split for $480 isnt a bad price.

I'll vouch for that. I dropped a couple of gums and ringed them 6 months ago - forgot that bit about splitting it promptly but proved it a few days ago when my splitting axe bounced off it. A couple more gums dropped a couple of weeks ago split easily within a week, splitting axe again. Lesson learned.

normally, a one cord trailer load of rings, splits up to just over one cord, split, thrown back into the trailer.

Ok just trying to work out if 30 rounds would get me 6 cube of thrown woodw

AS I said before, no way would you get 6 cube, probably abort 2 to 3

Buy the split wood. I sell rings to people that want me to but the saving vs time dont add up unless things are very very tight and you want a big workout.

Hah, at last a definite answer from Macker. His 18 rings @ 800mm , if they are 250mm long equates to 2.26 cube of solid wood. Therefore a cube of solid wood equals 1,1 cube of split
