Well how much water can there be in a cu m (a few tonnes) of logs? 500

Bzzt. Most woods will float in water so the density must be less than
one tonne per m^3. IIRC for most species it's in the range 600 - 750
kg/m^3 - hardly "a few tonnes." At 20% MC your 500 litres comes down to
120 - 150 litres in reality.
