  • The potential of using log biometrics to track sawmill flow

    Creator:
    Peterson, Matthew G.
    Abstract:
    We studied the feasibility of using end-grain characteristics to match individual boards and cants back to their parent Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) logs. After reviewing marking/reading and biometric automated identification systems, we focused on end-grain biometrics because they appear to have the most promise for sawmills. Biometric identification requires that every...

  • A linear programming and sampling approach to the cutting-order problem

    Creator:
    Hamilton, Evan D.
    Abstract:
    In the context of forest products, a cutting order is a list of dimension parts along with demanded quantities. The cutting-order problem is to minimize the total cost of filling the cutting order from a given lumber grade (or grades). Lumber of a given grade is supplied to the production...

  • Properties of veneer sliced from serpentine-end-matched flitches

    Creator:
    Liu, Yuqing
    Abstract:
    Eighteen Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl.ex.laws) veneer flitches were randomly selected and crosscut into paired flitches. Serpentine-end-matched (SEM) joints were machined in the flitches, joint amplitude equal to the width in one half of the paired flitch and joint amplitude equal to 2/3 width in the other half of the...
