2019 Guidelines for Scaling and Grading of Hardwood Logs
Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers Inc. and the Appalachian Hardwood Center from West Virginia University offer this new publication which was developed by the two groups to help landowners, loggers, sawmills, and brokers understand scaling, grading and valuing hardwood logs in the United States.
The 2019 Guidelines explain:
