Impact of Ellipticality on Lumber Grade and Volume Recovery For Red Oak Logs
… and competitiveness is to increase the value or lumber volume produced from logs. While methods to maximize value and volume recovery exist for round logs, little information exists on how to maximize these outcomes for logs with ellipticality. The goal of this research was to determine the …

Development of dimension lumber grade and yield estimates for yellow-poplar sawlogs and trees
… are underutilized. At present, dimension lumber used in light frame construction is almost exclusively manufactured from softwood species. Recent literature, research, and conferences have pointed to the possibility and feasibility of using yellow-poplar dimension lumber. It is an accepted …

Integrating the Least-Cost Grade-Mix Solver into ROMI
… manufacturing expenses stem from raw material (lumber) cost. Rough mill costs can be reduced by optimizing the lumber grade or grades that are purchased. This solution is known as the least-cost lumber grade-mix solution. The least-cost lumber grade-mix solutions has been a topic of great …

The effect of hydraulic linear positioners on the production efficiency of a hardwood sawmill
… of hardwood sawmills by an analysis of: 1) lumber grade yields; 2) log value; 3) sawing time; and 4) sawing variation attributed to the linear positioners, using Factory Grade No. 2 red oak logs sawn into lumber by full-infinite taper and conventional sawing patterns. The results of this …

Assessment of Cross Laminated Timber Markets for Hardwood Lumber
… was to assess the potential of using hardwood lumber in CLT manufacturing. The goal was achieved by addressing four specific objectives. The first objective was to collect CLT manufacturers' perspectives for using hardwood lumber in the current manufacturing setup. The second objective was to …

Understanding the relationship of lumber yield and cutting bill requirements: a statistical approach
… have been placing heavy emphasis on lumber yield improvements in recent years. More attention has been on lumber grade and cutting technology rather than cutting bill design. However, understanding the underlying physical phenomena of cutting bill requirements and yield is essential …
