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 in November 2023.

The Lumber Quality and Process Control Workshop will be held November 6-7, and the Lumber Quality Leadership Workshop will be held November 8-9. These programs have earned a 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 lumberquality.com/pnw-workshops or by calling 503-967-5965.
