Gunzner is "Lumberman ol the Year"

John Gunzner, vice president of HartmullerLumber Co., Lakewood, Co., isthe 1983 W.O.O.D. Inc. Lumberman of the Year.

He has served as president as well as being a longtime supporter of the organization, winning the top membership recruiter award in 1982. Joe Kerschen, 1982 recipient of the award, made the presentation.

W.O.O.D. Inc. is a Denver, Co., wood promotion group.

Treated Wood

(Continued from page 13) should be stored properly and notleft to the elements. Retailers who receive "air dried" treated lumber with stickers between each row should leave those stickers in place to allow that lumber to continue to dry naturally. Dealers who buy treated lumber that is solid stacked and wet from the cylinders should expect some falldown or loss from the unseasoned lumber.

Treated lumber is used so widely that it has become a commodity product. The type of lumber species being treated and offered to the retailer usually depends on his geographical location. In the South and on the East Coast, Southern yellow pine is used almost exclusively. The upper Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions are heavy to Ponderosa pine. The Mid-America region will see both species being offered. Treated SYP is usually found in 2 " dimension, larger posts and poles, and landscape timbers. Treated PP also is available in 2 " dimension as well as l' boards for fencing and agricultural needs. While PP is not as strong as SYP, its assigned strength values are more than adequate for any structural applications, including the wood foundation. PP gives the added advantages of being light weight, easily nailed with minimum splitting, and relatively easy to work with.

The more a retail lumber dealer knows about his product, the easier it is for him to purchase and to sell it. Before you purchase your next load of CCA treated lumber, ask yourself the following questions:

(1) What is the treating standard and what is the chemical retention?

(2) What is the moisture content after treatment?

(3) Does the lumber have a quality mark for treating, and a lumber grade stamp?

(4) Is it the best species for my customers?

Once you know the answers, you can buy your treated wood products with confidence in geting the best price and the best product. For further information on treated wood, write to WWPA for a copy of Spec Point A-6, "Pressure Treated Lumber," or contact the American Wood Preservers Institute or The Society For American Wood Preservers.

Quality Control

(Continued from page l4) are featured at the association's annual meeting.

Some 1,600 men and women qualify as "certified graders" in another aspect of the WWPA quality control programming. "These are millemployed graders who earn grading certificates which indicate their proficiency grade by grade," Spannaus explains. "A certificate is awarded after inspections show that an individual grader consistently has a good gradeline." Some graders qualify for simpler grading tasks in a matter of a few weeks. Other grades require years to master.

In the event a question of quality of lumber occurs between a mill and customer in the marketplace, provisions are made for reinspections.

"Sure,tt Spannaus states, "mistakes happen and customers should let shippers know if the lumber received is not as specified." Spannaus points out that reinspections last year numbered only 104 out of probably 350,000 individual shipments. "That speaks well of mill quality control."
