Log recovery and shrinkage properties of known species/ Mohd Faiza Abdullah

The main target for this study is to investigate and determine the log recovery, which the logs are get from wood species known in UiTM Jengka Forest, Pahang Darul Makmur. The wood species including in my study are Meranti Tembaga, Meranti Sarang Punai, Kedondong, Sepetir Daun Licin and Mempening. The log recovery study concerned here include determine the methods of sawing and calculated the volume (m3) of log wood species and the volume (m3) of sawntimber of wood species. The volume (m3) of log wood species are acquired and calculated by, multiplication the cross ofsectional at small ends with the length of log. The volume (m3) of sawntimber of wood species are acquired and calculated by multiplication all the dimension of the sawntimber, which multiplication the length, width and thickness of sawntimber. The result shown, the average percentage of log recovery yield for Meranti Sarang Punai gave the highest of the log recovery yield, even the log volumes of Meranti Tembaga is bigger than the log volumes of Meranti Sarang Punai. There have over 83% of log recovery yield for Meranti Tembaga.
