How do I determine what my logs are worth?
When scaling logs, you determine the (Board Footage) BF first and then the grade.
Your Board Footage (BF) can then be calculated from the Doyle Scale chart further down on the page. For example, a 12 foot log, 12 inches in diameter at the small end has 48 BF in it. You then look at the grade rules to determine the grade of the log.
The chart with log prices should be read as price per 1000 BF. In other words, if you add a decimal in front, that would be price per board foot. For example:
Poplar: #1 250 would be read as $250/1000 BF or .25/BF
Poplar: #3 75 would be read as $75/1000 or .075/BF
Multiply the price per BF by the scale and that is the value of your log.
What is the maximum period of time in which timber is considered
"fresh cut"?
It has more to do with appearance that time per say. Once a black stain begins to
develop in the wood, they are no longer considered "fresh cut". This stain
develops more rapidly in warm weather when the sap is running. If the logs ends
appear to be dry and are splitting then that is an indicator as well.
