National Hardwood Lumber Association will close out the summer with a quartet of three-day intro to hardwood lumber grading courses in northwest Pennsylvania, Southern California, Memphis and Cleveland.
The courses will help professionals build new skills, deepen their knowledge, and advance their careers. The training is ideal for all lumberyard, sales, office and managment-level personnel. Topics include grading fundamentals, yield improvement, quality control, and more.
The first is set for July 21-23 at Ron Jones Hardwoods, Franklin, Pa., led by NHLA instructor Tom Byers, with special guest speaker Kirt Metcalf, of Wagner Meters.
Highland Lumber & Mill will host the next course Aug. 26-28 at its new location in Fullerton, Ca., led by NHLA instructor Roman Matyushchenko.
