This book presents a groundbreaking method for determining the relationship between a log's scaling diameter and its average value per board foot. Prior to this, the value was estimated graphically, which led to much variance. However, the author suggests computing regressions to link individual log volume and value to log scaling diameter. This method is more accurate and reliable, as it involves fitting smooth curves to the data and determining values directly from the curves. The author discusses the advantages of this method, providing computer programs that can be used to perform the calculations, and offers sample input and output cards for easy understanding. Ultimately, this book is a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance the accuracy of their timber appraisals.
