Sawing SHOLO logs: three methods

Abstract

Three different methods of sawing the SHOLO log were compared on a board-foot yield basis. Using sawmill simulation, all three methods of sawing were performed on the same sample of logs, eliminating differences due to sapling. A statistical test was made to determine whether or not there were any real differences between the board-foot yields. Two of the sawing methods provided about the same board-foot yields; one provided about 40 percent less.
