Rochester Woodworkers Society will sponsor a workshop at Smith's Mill Sawmilling, 1939 Bennett Road Victor, NY.

This seminar and demonstration will cover the steps involved in processing a log into lumber, from the first log cuts, through drying, and proper storage. Topics covered include log scaling, log storage and handling, various log cuts (Grade, Quarter, Rift, etc.), board grading, and review of terms (4/4, S4S, wane, check, etc.). Various types of kilns will be discussed, as well as drying schedules and the many variables effecting lumber quality during drying. Also, additional benefits of kiln drying will be discussed, such as exterminating bugs in the lumber and setting pitch. Proper storage of dried lumber and common terms will be reviewed. The workshop will include a mill demonstration and tour of the kiln to support the topics discussed. Tree ID, harvesting economics, and forest management will also be discussed.

RWS Members: $25, non-members: $35. For more info, Rochester Woodworkers Society website or email workshops@rochesterwoodworkers.org
