TABLE 23a Loo RCUB FOR LOBLOLLY PINE. ACTUAL MILL CUT, CIRCULAR SAW, Vi-Ixca KERF, Loos 

 WITH LESS THAN Two INCHES CROOK. 



Table 23a gives a propose^ log rule for loblolly piiie. It is based 

 on actual mill cut, circular saw, ^4 i ncn saw kerf. This may be used for 

 calculating the amount of lumber which may be cut from logs of differ- 

 ent diameters and lengths. 



Tables 24 to 31, inclusive, were made from taper curves by scaling the 

 merchantable length in log lengths to the top diameters shown. Logs 

 were 16.3 feet long whenever possible, with some 14.3 feet, 12.3 feet, 

 and 10.3 feet long to avoid waste. The assumed stump height was 1 

 foot for trees 6 to 16 inches in diameter breasthigh, and 1.5 feet for 

 trees 17 to 25 inches.
