Lumber Quality Workshops Announced
Terry Brown and the Lumber Quality Institute will again offer two lumber quality-related workshops in Salem, Ore. for the sawmill industry this October.
Lumber Quality and Process Control Workshop will be held October 26-27, and the Lumber Quality Leadership Workshop will be held October 28-29. These programs have earned the reputation for providing practical, mill-tested information that can result in millions of dollars of added revenue to a mill each year. Managers look to them as effective tools for educating supervisors from all areas of the sawmill.
Additional program information is available at www.lumberquality.com/pnw-workshops or by calling 503-967-5965.
