In the United States , the cord is defined by statute in most states. Wood is also sold by the "face cord", which is usually ''not'' legally defined, and varies regionally. For example, in one area a pile of wood 8 feet wide × 4 feet high of 16"-long logs may be sold as a "face cord", though its volume is only one-third of a cord. In another region, or even from another vendor, the volume of a face cord may be considerably different.


SAYINGS



A cord of wood should be stacked loose enough to let a squirrel through, but tight enough to stop the cat that's chasing it.
