volumen por diámetro en punta fina de corteza
based on the size of the cut log on the small end


Explanation:
for example, if an eight-foot log measures ten inches on the large end and seven inches on the small end, it falls into the category of seven inch logs. it has to do with what final products can be made from it when it is sawed lengthwise.

  -> thanks, we cut logs on our farm two years ago.

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Good solution. In this case, I think they're calculating the **volume** based on the length times the diameter at the small (useful) end.
