Sawing and Edging

UK Forestry Extension is partnering with the National Hardwood Lumber Association to host a 2 day sawing and edging class. This 2-day class helps sawmill operators improve their skills in sawing and edging in order to improve yield of lumber of higher grades.

Grade Lumber

Attendees will be exposed to general wood and lumber terminology, species information, NHLA Hardwood lumber specifications and application, as well as defects and limitations. These classes are designed to be an in state resource for Kentucky wood/forest industries and assist in getting new personnel trained, keep lumber graders up to date on rules changes over the years, and help our KY industries maintain in this global economy. Due to the Kentucky Forest Industries Association’s continued support of education all KFIA members receive 20% discount on short course programs.

Log Grading Courses

Participants of the log grading course will cover volume scaling techniques, industry terms related to logs and associated defects, as well as methods and specifications for assessing log grades for the purposes of merchandising and determining value.
