Cubic-foot/weight scaling of short ponderosa pine and white spruce log
s required less than half the number of truckloads to be both weighed
and stick scaled as compared with the number required for Scribner boa
rd-foot/weight scaling. Cubic-foot/weight scaling of long Engelmann sp
ruce and white fir logs resulted in 19% fewer loads to be weighed and
stick scaled as compared with the number required for Scribner board-f
oot/weight scaling. The study showed that ratio weights need to be rec
alculated depending upon changes in timber size and woods storage time
.
