The volume of wood is given by = volume of the cuboid - the volume of four cones.

Firstly, the volume of cuboid :  =\ lbh

=\ 15\times 10\times 3.5

 =\ 525\ cm^3

And, the volume of cone :   

  \\=\ \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h\\=\ \frac{1}{3} \pi \times (0.5)^2\times 1.4\\\\=\ 0.3665\ cm^3                      

Thus the volume of wood is   = 525 + 4 (0.3665) = 523.53 \:cm^3
