Comments on: Woodworking Terminology http://www.wood-working-hobby.com/2007/03/02/woodworking-terminology/ For the weekend wood chewer Wed, 12 May 2010 03:58:09 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: toni http://www.wood-working-hobby.com/2007/03/02/woodworking-terminology/comment-page-1/#comment-6540 toni Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:57:09 +0000 http://www.wood-working-hobby.com/2007/03/02/woodworking-terminology/#comment-6540 That one stumped for a while, until I came across firewoodcenter.com. A rick or a rack is only part of a cord of wood. The volume of wood will vary based on the length of the sticks in the stack. All of the sticks within the single rick are to be of the same length. So you could purchase a rick of twelve inch sticks which would be one row of four feet tall by eight feet long by twelve inches wide. Total volume is 32 cubic feet. A rick of sixteen inch sticks is a volume of 42.6 cubic feet of wood. Basically a rick of wood is a single row that is four feet tall, eight feet long and all of the sticks are of the same length.
