Abstract
The invention provides a quality control process for lumber-cutting operations. It normally includes the following steps: (1) treating, with a normally invisible indicator, a portion of the lumber to be cut; (2) recording the physical properties of the portion of lumber; (3) commingling the treated, recorded portion with the remainder of the lumber; (4) performing cutting operations on the lumber; (5) imposing conditions on the lumber that will render the indicator visible on the treated portion; and (6) comparing the cut pieces of the treated, recorded portion with the precut record to determine the efficiency of the cutting operations.
