Abstract
Trees are among the natural resources that are becoming less abundant and more costly. The trend to utilize as much as possible of each harvested tree is well established and will continue for both economic and ecological reasons. This paper considers an automated system designed to increase the percentage of useful lumber (the yield) obtained from millwork grades of softwood.
