    Thanks, I have some Ash logs and wondered how heavy they were. Wish I had been able to get them to a mill last year.

      The info provided in the video is correct except for when he said a square foot and a board foot are one in the same. This is inaccurate because board foot is volume, not area! A board foot is actually 144 Cubic inches therefore, a board foot is only equal to a square foot on one inch material.

    I'm a wood turner and only deal with logs that are no longer than 4 feet long, anywhere from 3 inches in diameter to about 20 inches in diameter. The Doyle scale doesn't show anything under about 6 feet. How do I calculate small logs?

    • @woodchucktinman9893
      @woodchucktinman9893  3 роки тому +1

      Just take for example if your log is 4 feet long use the 8 feet and divide by 2 will give your board feet. Hope this helps.

      Try and find a logger or sawmill near you. They are most likely to be able to help you.

    Doyle Diameter in inches minus 4, divide this by 4 , this quantity squared times length of log in feet.

    You are wrong! It is supposed to be hook 1 bark , outside to inside. That is why the " SCALE STICK " has a metal hook on the end

    • @woodchucktinman9893
      @woodchucktinman9893  4 роки тому

      I have been with log buyers purchasing walnut and white oak veneer logs multiple times and they measure inside the bark. Large walnut can have close to 2 inches of bark on each side. If you can find someone to buy logs the way you say, good for you. The timber industry in the midwest does not. Sorry.

    • @toddlauer4383
      @toddlauer4383 4 роки тому

      I wish I knew how to send pictures, I would have you check the Wagner Company's website for the updated spec and price sheet . Says right on sheet 1 bark , scribner SCALE. Sounds better than your deal my friend.

    • @woodchucktinman9893
      @woodchucktinman9893  4 роки тому

      That answer may solve the confusion, in the midwest they use Doyle scale. I just know my logger friend, who has been doing it for over 40 years taught me, and I have been on site many times talking to the log buyers. Be safe out there.
