Blending simply with many aesthetics and environments, Eastern White Pine's ability to hold colors and showcase detail make this wood species a favorite for both contempory designs and historical redux.  Its interior and exterior versatility, along with availability, enhance its popularity for today's designs and specification demands.

Eastern White Pine Grader Workshop Conducted

(More news)

NELMA recently held its traditional Eastern White Pine Grader Workshop on October 21-23, hosted by Madison Lumber Mill in West Ossipee, New Hampshire. This three-day workshop, sponsored by the NELMA Institute, provided practical information and procedures for the grading of Eastern White Pine Boards.  Instruction was led by NELMA’s Director of Inspection Services, Marc Moore, and Lumber Inspector, Don Pendergast, who led the class of 16 through a balance of classroom and practical instruction that introduced all of the concepts of Eastern White Pine grading under the NELMA rules.

Material was thoughtfully covered to help the students make a quicker and smoother transition to become effective graders. Marc Moore added, “The workshop is designed to prepare students in all aspects of Eastern White Pine grading.  The course also helped students develop an appreciation for their direct impact on log recovery and grade recovery in their future roles as graders at their respective mills.”
 
The Association would like to especially thank the management team and employees of Madison Lumber Mill for their hospitality throughout the event.  Look for future lumber grading workshop event announcements in future issues of AskNELMA or online at www.nelma.org under Association Events.
