Sales Procedure
In order to quote exact prices, we will need your company details and preferences including your legal company name, type(s) of finished products to be made from the logs so that we can recommend applicable species and grades, which tree species required, which grade(s) required based on the Scribner or BC Interior scale, expected volume of each species/grade (minimum 1000 m3/order total), length and diameter preferences (minimums and/or maximums), and schedule of when the order is expected to be filled.
Once we have your preferences our sales team will put a quote together which will be valid for 30 days after it is issued.
Feel free to contact us or your Canada Wood agent regarding samples and quotes or any questions you may have.
Scaling (Grading and Measuring)
The customer may set length preference and minimum as well as top & butt diameter minimums. Our wood will be graded and measured by a government certified “scaler” using the BC Interior Scale (metric uses m3) and the Scribner Scale (board feet) if required. Grade is determined by knots allowable/3 meter section, top size, twist, ring count, rot %, cat-facing, sweep, shake, crook, pistol grip, weather checks, middle hole size, and other factors.
Formula to find cubic meters with BC Interior grading system is:
Butt diameter in cm2 x top diameter cm2 x length in meters x .0001571 = cubic decimeters / 10 = 1m3.
Interior grades applicable to our products are:
1 = Premium sawlog
2 = Sawlog grade
4 = Lower grade sawlog to Paper/pulp grade
6 = Undersized sawlog

In Scribner measurements are always taken down to the nearest inch and the formula to find a board foot with the Scribner Scale is:
Top diameter in inches (1″) x length in inches (12″) / 12 = (1’) board feet
