Glad to be on board Forestry Forum

Hey Guys!

Just thought I would take a little time to introduce myself...

I am a NHLA Ceritifed Inspector. Graduated in the 136th class back in Dec of 2001. If any of you remember the thread started by Seth entitled Sawyers, I am an inspector for the same company. www.wlumber.com I am located at the Winthrop, Iowa mill. Just a young buck getting into the wonderful world of hardwoods and milling. Love it!! Recently purchased a Crab Circular Mill and look forward to becoming an weeked warrior!! :D As I stated over there at WoodWeb, I will be more than happy to answer any grading questions any of you might have etc. I again want to Thank ElectricAl for his warm welcome and his invite to come down and see his operation. He is a very intelligent individual and I look forward to working with him, along with everyone else here on The Forestry Forum. As Margaret Meal once said "Never doubt that a small group of comitted citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that has," we too as individuals in the lumber industry can come together and make a difference.

Again Thanks Al and I am glad to be here. Again I look forward to working with all.

Did you happen to see my post "How about explaining", on the sawmill forum?? I Don't want to be a professional grader, but, would like to know roughly what the graders look for to determine the grade or de-grade of rough sawn boards, both before and after kiln drying. Thanks, and welcome to the forum.

Hi Woody

Welcome a-board (get it - a board :D). I'm sure you will like it here, but I don't think I would go around telling people you graduated 136th in your class, they might get the wrong idea! :D :D

Welcome to the forestry form .

Corley5 · March 02, 2003, 10:52:23 PM

Welcome! It's good to have another circular mill guy around. We've got to stick together. There aren't many of here ;D :D

Norm · March 03, 2003, 05:17:19 AM

Welcome inspector, did you ever find a map with Bangor on it. ;D In case you didn't it's a speck of a town 7 miles south of Union. We live next to the cemetary, nice quiet folks, don't keep us up at night with parties.

inspectorwoody · March 03, 2003, 07:13:38 PM

Norm

never found ya on the map! those folks next door don't get to upset by the noise do they!!!!

Eggsander · March 04, 2003, 08:02:30 AM

Welcome Woody, it'll be a great addition to have someone with your expertise to tap on occasion. :P
Hey Norm, Bangor ain't so hard to find, on the map at least. I think I've been through there. We've done some work off and on down in that area. Just got done with a chunk of the Ave. of the Saints North of you up at Owasa.

Norm · March 04, 2003, 11:36:22 AM

DanG Eggsander wish I'd known you were in the area. If you get this way again give me a heads up and we'll see if we can get together for a cup of coffee. You know I'd forgotten about that project, be nice when it's completed.

See Woody it's not so hard to find Bangor even though Owasa is a Metropolis in comparison.

Jeff · March 04, 2003, 05:37:51 PM

Who's woody? Gadget?

Eggsander · March 05, 2003, 04:51:53 PM

I'll let you know Norm, I ain't been down for awhile now. All the work we've got now is North of the border, but I'll no doubt have something to go see in that direction eventually.
