How to use it

Board-foot scaling varies by log rule and actual top diameters, taper, defects, log length, and species. This quick estimator is intentionally conservative and is not intended for selling or appraising standing timber.

Planning estimate: Field conditions, sampling method, tree form, defects, and local forestry standards can materially change results. Use professional cruising and appraisal methods for timber-sale decisions.
