There is actually another formula for Doyle which is easier on the eyes BDFT=((D-4)(squared)* L)/16. That is the one UT publishes. Mine came from my class notes (many years ago) at UK.

Credit for it goes to Edward Doyle way back in the 1820's (no I wasnt is school then :-)). It over-estimates stab and kerf based on modern sawing. But it underestimates sawdust.

Guess tonight is my night for trivia. For what it's worth I took a class titled "Theory and Practice of Harvesting Timber Crops" (way back in 1987). Needed 3 hours of a plant science elective and there was this certain young lady signed up for it..............

Warmest regards,

David
