i Scale for seasoned lumber with M6-inch shrinkage per 1-inch board, and saws cutting a H-inch kerf, 

 or for green lumber, for saws cutting a <M 6-inch kerf. For saws cutting a J-^-inch kerf add 10.5 percent. 

 Formula: ((Z)2X0.22)-0.71Z>)X0.904762 for 4-foot sections. 

 Taper allowance: \i inch per 4 feet lineal. 



Note.— The International log rule gives consistent results under good milling practice. It is the most 

 fair rule for all classes of timber and logs and should be used for second-growth material particularly. For 

 this reason the International volume tables are recommended.
