The traditional procedure for estimating lumber tally volume is based on theoretical log rules, defect deductions, and overrun factors. This procedure is indirect, subjective, and complicated. It is also apparently inaccurate. A better procedure, one based on actual rather than theoretical lumber recoveries, is described.
