Timber Cruising

[regen-degen]

Hi,

I am a Forester in Montana and I am looking for a template or at least calcs to derive a very basic timber cruise on excel. End state would be a spreadsheet that can derive bd foot volumes from basic plot cruise data. Appreciate any help.

Thanks

I developed one 30 years ago using a spread sheet, used it for years, have no idea how I did it, and my computer with the data went down the river, literally, when my office flooded.  Wrote it up for even form classes from 70 to 90 for SYP.

Sorry, bud, but you can do it.

I may be of some help. I have an old computer that may have the spread sheet that used form class volumes from a USDA form class book.  Gotta dig it out.

Are you using point sampling or circular plots?  I probably could help you with the calcs on point sampling. 

We use to have a knowledge base, but it has been removed.  I had a series on there about point sample cruising which included how to crunch the numbers.

Its not been removed, it wont run on this server. That was a simple text based database and if I knew what I was looking for, I might be able to retrieve it. I wish I had someone that could get the scripts to run here again.

If you're still seeking a solution I'll look thru my archives. Years ago I worked up a spreadsheet that uses data from local volume tables. You would want to type in your own volume tables, a bit tedious but then, if we couldn't stand tedium would we have gotten into forestry??
