foot board measure (FBM), cunit, dm3

piece scaling, weight scaling, foreign material

butt swell, callipering, check, shake, clear, collar, dryland sort, gross scale, merchantable lumber, peeler block, "rads", accountant' rounding, slab

Briefly compare Doyle, Scribner and 'Decimal C' log rules

Briefly compare log rules vs. Lumber Cubic Scale vs. Firmwood Cubic Scale

Provide an overview of weight scaling

Briefly describe the layout (what do the numbers mean) and use of the BC Metric Scale stick (determine gross and net measures)

Provide an outline of log scaling history in BC (i.e. provide significant dates and methods)

Determine the gross volume of a log using Smalian's formula and the scale stick (or half-volume tables)

Differentiate between common species of logs found on a dryland sort on the coast of BC and provide the accepted two-digit code

net firmwood volume, decay (incipient, intermediate, advanced), butt rot, heart rot, sap rot, conk knot, ring rot, pocket rot, punky

cat face, dead side, missing wood, (sound wood) collar, end checking, fractures

unit volume, average unit volume (running volume, 1 metre volume), end deduction, length deduction

Calculate net measures (end, length and volumes) of logs with defect

trim allowance, bark seam, fracture, clear, twist (spiral grain), ring count, displaced centre

knots, knot indicators, occasional larger knots (OLK), 'otherwise grade', pistol grip/ sweep, peeler block, quality considerations, worm holes, toredos

schedule of coast timber (log) grades, shop grades, sorts, side

Provide the schedule of log grades in tabular form for common coastal tree species

Describe and be able to apply the correct procedures for determining:

	twist
	ring count
	displaced centre
	grade reduction - a.k.a. apply trim allowance for various defects (i.e. volume not available for lumber)

Using the "cheat sheet", apply the correct procedures for determining log grades according to the schedule of coast timber (log) grades

standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), standard error (SE), sampling error (E), confidence level, confidence interval

accuracy, precision, bias, random sampling, systematic sampling, stratification

For any given sample set, determine E (% or units) at any confidence level

Stratify a sample set and determine the combined E (% or units) at any confidence level
