Just for fun, here's our hardwood specs.
Saw logs and veneer
Diameters down to 10" on saw logs
12 on veneer. No limit on large diameter, our timber isn't big enough to matter.
Lengths 8, 10,12,14,16 ft with 8 inch trim
8 and 10 preferred. 14 and 16 almost never. Occasional 6 and 7 ft prime veneer or figure.
Pulp. 4 to 36 in diameter. Length 6 to 9 ft. 8.5 preferred.
Bolts. 8' 8". 7 to 10 in diameter. Any bigger makes at least #3 log.

No one here is taking pulp currently. All have closed their door or are under bankruptcy protection.
Pulp here was the rotten and crooked junk. If it was sound enough to make it to the landing they would take it. They made pellets from it. Used to...

My mill will saw 5 footers (diameter). They just don't get em often.
10" small end.
8s, 10s, 12s, 14s, 16s, 4-8" trim
Pulp they take 2-20" all 8s. All chipped into napkins and hamburger wrappers.

various mills to choose from, but a general idea...
16-42' in 8' or 10' multiples, most of em hate anything under 30', though they will buy em. (probably average a 32' log myself)
5-8" minimum dia, depending on mill and species (very important to remember who your sending them to)
Peeler fir 26-32' no knots minimum sweep, and tight grain
Peeler alder 12" or better no knots, minimum sweep, 8's or 10's with 6" trim
Pulp,mixed hardwoods (alder,maple,cotton wood, some birch/cherry) Fir and Hemlock for pulp 32"-2" with a 12' minimum and needs to be bucked on both ends
anything over 36" gets a slight ding on price Like 50-100 per 1k

chip wood......4" little end, 18" big end max. 16' to as long as you will haul. but i won't cut one dam stick for 17 a ton and truck it the 50 miles past two weigh stations. nope.
most every thing else is 10" top. pine 52'+
grade logs......i do it different than you guys. if they are nice sticks my buyer takes tree length or i buck at 42' for easier handling. he will veneer 13" but lets face it, on doyle scale thats a waste of time. if it ain't 20"dbh or better i will leave it to grow or throw it in the sawlog pile. sawlogs are up to 385 now so you have to figure which pile the marginal ones go in to make the most money.

Had to slip one off the stump a little to make the lay work out.
