A system and method for conducting an inventory and/or appraisal is disclosed. A grid marked along one direction with increments of one characteristic and along a second direction with increments of another characteristic is electronically displayed by an electronic device. An item is assayed with respect to the two characteristics and the values for those characteristics are communicated to the electronic device by indicating the appropriate cell in the grid. The electronic device increments an integer displayed in the cell to increment the inventory. Different grids can be selected for different types of items. Monetary values can be associated with items and stored in the electronic device to facilitate an appraisal. Multiple portable electronic devices can be used in combination and with a central computer station. The types of items that can be inventoried and appraised are unlimited. Several embodiments are discussed. Some relate to timber.
