West Virginia Yellow-Poplar Lumber Defect Database

摘要

The document describes the data collection methods and the format of the new WestVirginia yellow-poplar lumber defect database that was developed for use with computer simulation programs. The database contains descriptions of 627 boards, totaling approximately 3,800 board feet, collected in West Virginia in grades FAS, FAS1F, No. 1 Common, No. 2A Common, and No. 2B Common. The database includes a complete description of each board and each defect on the boards in a format that is readily acceptable for use with different simulation programs.
