[QUOTE="davegster, post: 1417102, member: 20057"] You fellows like to make life complicated with all the math. Foresters use a Biltmore stick. You can buy one from Baileys for $60 or you make one for occasional use. The stick has markings every 6 inches; you measure off 50 feet from the base of the tree; hold the stick 24 inches from your eye; starting from the bottom of the tree; each 6 inch increment up the tree will give you a 12 foot long log. Add up all the 12' lengths and you have your answer. It is quick and accurate. [/QUOTE]
