How to Scale Logs and Find Board Feet of Lumber, Doyle Scale 

Glad to hear it was helpful

Yes, good way to find dimensional lumber board feet

Thank you

​@@ColfaxMathI was taught minus 4 then times that number by itself gets you the board feet of a 16 foot long log as your first log 9 minus 4 you have 5 then times 5 you have 25 bf. 6th generation logger and lumber person great video. Logged most of my life 17 years grading lumber here from southern Ohio

@@brendalestertaylor2680 that's pretty cool thanks for a simple formula to ball park some wood I'm about to take to a mill

Glad to hear that

Thank you

No I didn't, I will next time and make a video of it

You gain bf on a smaller log and lose on a bigger log the reason is the number of cuts to work it down to Lumber

I don't know where to get those logs

True, certainly not for commercial logging. This is what I did when I cleared and logged my lot

Thank you

It's the US Tape loggers tape. Good for construction as well. I think I have a review video for it on my wood channel Topsaw if you search Topsaw protape review

Very true

Hope it helped

Ok

I don't know, it's hard to say,transport costs are high, the mill won't take them unless a Forester has done the paperwork for them.

@@ColfaxMath thank you.

@@makincash3337not much ur better off spitting and selling as fire wood my educated guses is those two logs worth 30-40$ nothing
