Im being thick..


Recommended Posts

Been felling today. Logs at 3.7m so i measured each one at thinnest end with a normal cm tape. Now this is not a dbh tape.

I have become all confused as i ve thought too much. To work out volume do i need to convert cm in inches them divide by pi? does nt seem right as a log 126cm diameter ends up at 15 dbh......ermmm no!! :sneaky2:

 

So a 3.7 log at 126cm/49 inches divide by pi=15cm.

On sawlogs tables=0.08m3 :thumbdown:

 

not right!! help!

No the problem is i measured diameter in cm with a norma cml tape not a dbh calibrated tape so i need to convert it do i not first???

 

Eh? Centimetres is normal, (o/bark or under) rounded down to the even # and then just whack that against the table with the stick length and that's you

 

Normal tape is fine! dbh tape - ignore.
