Hi All I would like to know how much wood this is. The measuements are 4' wide x 4' high 17" deep.
Is this a 1/4 cord or what?
Thanks Dan

Thanks for the correction I was read all the post on this and was going to respond when I got to the end.
A cord of wood is 4' high x 4' deep x 8' long and is typically cut into 16" lengths. The 16" lengths are lined up end to end from front to back, or at least can be. 16" lengths will fit in most wood stoves, or used to anyway.
If you have a 4' high x 8' long x 16" deep stack of wood it's 1/3 rd of a cord and is known as a face cord. Some suppliers will try to pass off a face cord as a cord so be careful.
I'll bet your log holder holds 1/2 of a face cord. 1/2 of a full cord is a LOT of wood. In 16" sticks a 1/2 cord would be 4' high x 12' long x 16" deep. 4' x 4' x 16" is 1/2 a face cord.
Thanks Dave Sounda about right , but I am confused because the 4'x4'x16" took up most of my 1/2 cord log holder. Only thing I can think of was that his measurements were not right, or my log holder holds less then 1/2 cord.
