Filmed in three distinct locations—Gaspé, Saint-Raymond (Capitale-Nationale), and La Tuque (Mauricie)—the Mesurage des bois videos present the different measuring methods in context.
Measuring wood is an activity reserved for people who hold a permit issued by the Quebec office of wood measurers. However, the success rate for the office examination is very low, and the measurement part is the least successful.
This educational resource aims to support learners with a concrete demonstration of the important elements to consider when taking measurements (species, cuts, defects, wood stacking) and explains the calculations to be made to determine the volume of wood cut.
