If you could find a woodcutter in the area that could show you similar sized trees of the same species that he has felled lately you could do some ring counting and make an educated guess. Oh, and don't try to joke with Paul...he's an engineer for chissake...;)

Paden,

It is politically incorrect to "Out" Engineers.

It was too much fun not to throw in the carbon content.

Beech and alders, much different.

Lee: Egads! Thanks for the heads up! Never even looked at it. Must have come across from the old forum with some macro driven data.
Is it fixed now?
