Lumber Recovery Factor (LRF) by Diameter
Lumber recovery generally increases as the log size increases. The graph shows the relationship between log size (top diameter) and lumber recovery. This is based on nominal 2" production only.
- For FBM/FT3 divide FBM/M3 by 35.3
- For M3/M3 multiply FBM/M3 by .0019 (rough green production)
- For Diameter in inches multiply cm by .394
