Explanation of the U.S. Scribner Log Volume Table
The U.S. Scribner log volume table was revised in July 1972.
1. Formula for calculating log volume
The calculation formula for the Scribner log volume is based on cutting 1-inch thick boards from the small end of the log. The specific method involves drawing several board strips, each 1 inch thick, with the minimum width not less than 4 inches, on the small end of the log cross-section. The strips are separated by 1/4-inch saw kerfs. The sum of the widths of all the strips is calculated to determine the cross-sectional area in square inches, which is then divided by 12 to obtain the volume of the log in board feet (1 board foot = thick 1 inch × wide 1 foot × long 1 foot).
