Book Description

This publication contains charts in nomogram form that can be used to determine furniture cutting yields from hardwood lumber graded by standard National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) grades when that lumber is initially processed by gang ripping rather than by the more conventional crosscutting. Prior research by Englerth and Schumann developed nomograms for the prediction of clear cutting yields when standard-graded hardwood lumber is conventionally processed by crosscutting first.
