Maximum large end diameter is 40” inside bark. 3. “Limbing”: All limbs must be cut flush and parallel to the main bole of the stem. 4. Sweep: The maximum sweep allowed is 3” in any 13 ft segment. Sweep in more than one direction is not allowed. 5. Knots: Maximum knot size for any individual knot at any point on the stem is 4”. Knots are measured perpendicular to the length of the log & are measured across the last completed ring of the knot. There shall not be

any ring knots or whorl knots (a ring or whorl knot is described as more than three knots on the same plane; dead or alive, where the limbs had to be trimmed to meet limbing specifications) Knots are described as where a
