How many board feet? Take a guess. #19190758 02/08/24 Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 21,985 Likes: 17 Anywhere people are Less Stupi...

Here is the raw data. 135 logs. 16" diameter average (inside of bark) average. 13.5' average length. Assume no defects and no checking. White Pine. What is your estimate on yield? Apologies on the glare. If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

If they're straight, perfect, and 16 on the small end they scale at 117ish BF per log on a band mill, not counting the extra half foot in length. Close to 16K total. I prefer peace.

Scribner Decimal C and assuming 16" is the small end diameter, I get 135 per log. So, 18,225 board feet in all. The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

International will scale higher than Scribner too. It's all just an estimate until you have a pile of good wood to tally up. I prefer peace.
