A cord of firewood measures 4′ x 4′ x 8′ and contains 128 cubic feet. A “face cord” is 1/3 of a cord of wood, with the idea being that many folks cut their firewood into 16″ pieces. There will be three rows of 16″ pieces in 1 cord. 3 rows*16″=48″ or 4′ wide. A “face cord” is sometimes called a “rick”.

A face cord (1/3 of a cord) may contain around 220 pieces of split wood. A cord then would contain around 660 pieces of wood. Again, this is a rough count and there are lots of factors that could cause your cord to have less or more.
