%X <p>In this study the loose volume of 58 piles of pulpwood were measured before and after barking by rotary ring barker. The volume was 2,121 m<sup>3</sup>. A recommendation is made, based on the results of the study, concerning the barking loss from piled wood: for green Scots pine (<em>Pinus sylvestris</em> L.) pulpwood, 8.8% of the stacked volume; for seasoned pine pulpwood, 6.1% of the stacked volume; and 8.0% for birch (<em>Betula</em> sp.) pulpwood, green and seasoned. The amount of bark left on bolts was small for pine bolts, namely 0.33%, but quite large for birch bolts, 2.84% of the green weight.</p>
