block measure

Stock is the round (end view) log (kapad, kvistad del av trästam), block is the log after sawing four sides (the rounded boards) to create a square (ish) log that can be sawn into lumber.

This is from my analogue Skogsordlista...

Right stock = stock; Stockholm, stockade, and cut tree logs...
