The 2007 Standard Grading Rules of the Northern Softwood Lumber Bureau (NSLB) are now available from NELMA. These rules, effective April 1, 2007, incorporate a significant number of changes since the 1993 printing of the book.  This revised edition has been officially approved by the American Lumber Standard Committee’s Board of Review.

 

The new format of the book includes a flexible spiral binding for easier use by grading personnel in the mill, along with a heavy duty tear-resistant front and back cover for longevity. The Book is divided into 10 sections, categorized by subject for quick reference, with a complete index included within Section 10.

 

A copy may be ordered at a cost of $8.00 per book plus postage. Contact NELMA to place an order by phone at 207-829-6901, by fax at 207-829-4293, or email info@nelma.org
