There are actually 3 different log rule formulas (Doyle, International, and Scribner). Each gives slightly different results. They vary based on assumptions about kerf width and what you areactually cutting the log into (if you cut into all 1" stuff you will have a lot more waste to sawdust) Doyle: BDFT=((diameter-4)/4)*length International (1906) BDFT= ((.022*diameter squared)-(.071*diameter))* (length/4) Clear as mud :-) Oh, BTW, always measure from the inside of the bark. Doyle tends to underestimate. Most folks here use it though (better for the mill).
