Maximum FAS Face Board ― Clear |
|
The above illustration is Clear
Face board that exceeds all grading minimums for the FAS
grade. Therefore, the Clear piece is an FAS grade board. |
|
NOTE: The
FAS 1 Face and Better grade requires the best
Face must meet the minimum requirements for the FAS grade and
the poor face must grade #1 Common or Better.
The logic concerning the terminology of the FAS 1 Face and
Better Grade....the best face is FAS and the
poor face is #1 Common or Better. |

Minimum FAS Board |
|
The above illustration is of a
12 foot surface measure board with two outlined Clear Face
cuttings. A board meeting the NHLA grading minimums for
a Face grade of FAS must yield 120 cutting units (Foot Long
Hotdogs) S.M. x 10. This illustration meets the minimum
of 120 cuttings units (63-1/4 + 57-3/4 = 121 cutting units).
Assuming the poor side of the board grades at least #1 Common,
the NHLA grade is FAS 1 Face. |
