Abstract
The cost of raw materials has a major role in the wood industry. From this point of view, it is necessary to pay attention to the correct log-sawing pattern, which will optimize the sawing process and increase the quantity and quality of the material as well. For measurements, we used beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.). Beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) is the most common wood species in the Slovak Republic; the total amount in forests is 34.8%. Beech wood has a high frequency of defects, such as red false heartwood, reaction wood (i.e., tension wood), dote, cracks, and so on. This research aimed to analyze the effect of the log-sawing patterns of through-and-through sawing, cant sawing, and quarter sawing on the resulting quantitative–qualitative yields of beech timber. The results showed that the highest quantitative yield was observed with the cant sawing pattern, at 84%, which was, on average, 17.3% higher compared to other types of cutting. It was found that quarter sawing resulted in a higher qualitative yield compared to through-and-through sawing or cant sawing (V5 = 62.69% and V6 = 47.86%).
