Maybe you want it as 'sawn timber' grade table. I get worried when the Swe word doesn't come up with many hits (or in variations and combinations).

a few 'reject' classes (going to paper or burning)

Roughly, sorting logs by quality is grading, sorting by log size is 'sorting', but ...very roughly, it seems... (more fun reading http://epubl.ltu.se/1402-1757/2007/02/LTU-LIC-0702-SE.pdf)
