A Cube having 1 foot in width, 1
foot in length & 1 foot in height is call as 1Cubic ft.
If you have a log having dimensions
6 inch x 8 inch x18 inch then its Cubic ft is as follow, (6 x 8 x 18)/1728= 0.5 Cubic ft (here 1728 always constant means 1Cubic
ft).
Further multiply this figure by rate
you will get price.
For wholesale
rate you may bargain & If you want to be a trader then you have to take
