Hardwood tree grades and a plan for their implementation

This paper describes the Forest Service Hardwood Tree Grades for Factory Lumber. These grades, developed through research, are accompanied by board-foot lumber grade yields for 11 major hardwood species. Those conducting forest inventories or timber sale appraisals will find the grades useful. A plan for implementing use of the tree grades is also discussed. Such a plan may be followed by researchers working with both State and extension foresters to implement results of research.
