Abstract

We have presented prediction equations and tables for estimating the gross cubic-foot volume of sawtimber for hardwood trees, and cubic-foot yields of lumber, sawdust, and sawmill residue that are produced during the sawing process. Yields are presented for northern red oak, black oak, white oak, chestnut oak, red maple, sugar maple, yellow-poplar, yellow birch, paper birch, and basswood.
