Excerpt from Tree Grades, Yields and Values for Some Appalachian Hardwoods
When the upper logs were graded by the Bent Creek log-grading system from which the above butt log requirements were derived, it was found that there was an orderly decline in log grades up the tree. For example, a select butt log is usually topped by a grade 1 log, a grade 1 log by a grade 2, and a grade 2 butt log is usually topped by a grade 3 log. The consistency of this 1. 2, 3 order of log occurrence is demonstrated in table 2, for 205 trees. The particular value of this system is that it permitted the use of lumber-grade yield data by log grades in building up grade yield and value data for the tree grades. The tests reported on page 13 show that, as a result of this system, grading of the trees by the butt log alone provided a reasonably good estimate of tree value.
