Scaling (Grading and Measuring)
The customer may set length preferences and minimum as well as top diameter minimum. 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
