General Guidelines

Burned Logs - The entire log will be culled if the char extends into the cambium layer.

Metal/Foreign Objects -If the log contains metal or any other foreign objects the entire log will be culled.

Preferred Length Premium - Logs cut to 20' 6" or 41'0" containing a segment with defects which will render no 20' lumber in that segment, the entire log will be paid at the random length price.

Trim Allowance - 8' to 20' give 6" of trim, over 20' give 12" of trim.   Trim tolerance +/- of 2". For instance, a 20' log is correct if cut between 20'4" and 20'8", a 32' log is correct if cut between 32'10 " and 33'2".

Merchantability - Any log segment that is less than 1/3 merchantable shall be culled.
