Excellent video! Thank you for your help, my professor tagged your video in my course resources to assist in studying (that's how excellent quality and reliable description you gave).
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?
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.
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.
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.

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.
Where can i fund logs like this? I need a 24 inch in diameter. Cant find it at my local lumber stores...
Try and find a logger or sawmill near you. They are most likely to be able to help you.
Thank you, this helped a lot.
Hello anyone knows what is brereton method?
Doyle Diameter in inches minus 4, divide this by 4 , this quantity squared times length of log in feet.
Great video where can I find those on the Internet
A Google search for green wood weight per foot chart and doyle log scale chart.
I can't find that weight chart when i google it....
Try typing in "log weight chart". It should have some.
Good looking sticks
Thank you I learned alot!!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you
There's apps.
great
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
