Roy Log Rule

Spike VM

The Roy Log Rule, with results in board feet, was used by mills in Quebec, Canada. The results from this rule are fairly accurate for 14' and 16' logs but over scales slightly on the high end for smaller sized logs. 

Board feet = (D-1)² * L ÷ 20
D = diameter small end of log measured inside the bark in inches
L = the length of the log measured in feet
