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.
