The mystery of the Code

[Don P]

The NH law seems reasonable. I've downloaded the law, is there a link to the signup/ study materials?

A piano tuner should appreciate this lumber grader  ;

Mein Gott 'n Himmel!

With that contraption you should be able to grade a stack of lumber
in mere ...

weeks! :D :D

Phil L.          Like Don, I would like to get the scoop on getting that
                   certificate training myself.   I think it would be worthwhile
                   for any sawyer, even if their state's law is different.
                   What about it Lenny_M ?

 When we took ours, it was a home study program then a test, We met at  a park owned by the Dept of forest and lands for the test.
It is offered and inforced by the N.H. dept. of agg, foods and markets. and is only good for soft woods milled in N.H. by a mill properly regestered in N.H.
  The test was really easy, they basically wanted to see if you could tell between #2 or better by N.H. standards. If it was #2 and you failed it they count that against you. Thats where most people have problems, as the standards are not that high. some of the junk they called #2 I would not use in in a structure, except a hen house or somethang of the sort.

The lady that gave us the test Did say they were working on making it so you can do the whole coarse online.
