The Northwest Log Rules Advisory
Group was informally organized in 1951 for the purpose of analyzing and
discussing problems in connection with scaling and grading of logs for all
species in the Douglas fir producing area. The
Group was created for the express purpose of promoting uniformity and
standardization of rules and the application of rules to be applied in scaling
and grading logs. It was recognized
that timber produced in the various areas differs in texture, appearance, and
overall quality. It was also
recognized that there was a wide divergence of market prices log-wise, and of
manufacturing procedures in these areas. At
the same time, recognition was made of the fact that end products manufactured
are competitive both market-wise and price-wise.
The Official Rules for Westside
and Eastside Log Scaling and Grading and the Supplement to Official Log Scaling
and Grading Rules (Training Manual) are developed and produced under the
auspices of the Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group.
