Will, That is simple calculation. The Coon Branch Pine is 148.8 x 15' 10" and 1035 ft3 volume. That girth is equal to approximately 2.52 feet radius.
therefore F = 1035 / (148.8)(pi)(2.52)(2.52) = 1035 / 2968.62 = 0.349 This is consistent with Bobs observation: "single-trunk old-growth specimens are proving to have ... an F value as high as 0.35 or even 0.37".
