Hardwood Timber Estimating 



Timber estimating primarily is ascertaining 

 tlie quality, quantity and varieties of timber 

 on a tract of land, but in its full sense and 

 in practice it includes a study of conditions, 

 such as the possibility or frequency and time 

 of overflow, the nature of the soil, location of 

 waterways and all other conditions that affect 

 the value of the property and the cost of mov- 

 ing and manufacturing the timber into lumber. 



Varieties: The families are usually known 

 by the holders of timber, but they ofttimes 

 do not know the varieties or species, and this 

 is of much importance in valuing timber. 

 Take, for instance, the family of oaks — there 

 arc perhaps fifty species known to botanists, 

 and of these there are ten or fifteen growing 

 in one locality of this country and known and 

 recognized as distinct on account of charac- 

 teristics that appear in the manufactured 

 lumber. 



Quality: The quality of timber is affected 

 largely by local conditions, such as the thick- 

 ness of stands, the quality of soil, under- 

 growth, etc. It is of much importance to 

 know the approximate age of the timber, to 

 know the damage from bugs and worms occa- 



sioned by fires, to know the effect of water 

 standing on the ground to any great depth 

 and for several months in the year. Timber 

 on the mountains is tougher and has thinner 

 sap than timber growing on the flat land, on 

 ficcount of the greater effect of the sun's 

 rays, and the lack of moisture; the same 

 causes keep the hill timber from making its 

 maximum growth and also makes conditions 

 favorable for fires. 



Quantity: There are several methods used 

 in ascertaining the quantity of timber on a 

 tract, which amount (for milling purposes) is 

 expressed in thousands of feet, board measure. 

 The diameter (at a certain distance above the 

 ground) of the smallest tree considered should 

 be given in the estimate, as, for instance, all 

 merchantable timber 16" and up breast high. 



Estimating by comparison was, until re- 

 cently, the only method used in this country. 

 The estimator or cruiser rode through the 

 timber until he had seen it to Ms satisfaction, 

 and, having seen other timber cut out, drew 

 his conclusions by comparing the known tracts 

 with the one being looked. This method 

 gave the quantity near enough to satisfy when
