[Archive] Classification and presentation of softwood sawlogs
Lead Author: Forestry Commission
Lead Author: Forestry Commission
These recommendations are agreed by Forest Enterprise, the British Timber Merchants' Association, and the UK Softwood Sawmillers Association. The normal practice of the Forestry Commission will be to classify parcels of sawlogs offered for sale into four categories: green, red, short green, and log pole, for which descriptions are given. The FC aims to maximise the proportion of green category logs, subject to appropriate stand conditions and market requirements. This publication is no longer available in hard copy.
