Sawlog Grades


1sc Sawlogs


One side clear are logs which have a significant amount of defect but are structurally sound.

2sc Sawlogs


Two sides clear logs have defects on two sides but offer a significant amount of clear wood.

3sc Sawlogs


Three sides clear produce a high proportion of clear lumber with only minimal defect.

4sc Sawlogs


Four sides clear are typically such high quality that they were considered for veneer or baseball bat logs but ultimately rejected due to a small defect.
