smclelan Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 They are checking stacked volume verse solid wood volume. Each stick within the square with a dot on it the would measure the diameter to calculate volume. It will tell them how many m3 of solid wood verses m3(st). This is a check and balance done to ensure proper payment to all parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
