“I have found the workshops to be valuable for the purposes of education, networking, and applicable tours,” says Sean Kelly, owner of Automated Products Inc. “It is a very relaxed environment that has proven to be a good tool in helping me manage my business.” John Bryant, a lumber buyer at Stark Forest Products, calls the MSR Workshop an invaluable resource. “From powerful and informative sessions to strengthening key relationships, I believe the information and contacts gleaned from those few days has helped improve my knowledge and network in the MSR segment of the business,” says John. “If you are a manufacturer, buyer, or user of MSR products, this is the can’t-miss event of the year.”
On April 27–29, the 2022 Workshop in Salt Lake City will once again deliver a lineup of educational sessions tailored to what attendees do every day: A Technical Perspective on MSR & MEL Linda Brown of the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau will provide a valuable overview of how machine graded lumber is produced, including information on lumber grading, the difference between visual and machine grading, and the advantages of using MSR/MEL. She will also discuss design values and how engineers design with wood. Analyzing the True Cost of Lumber Culling Dennis Westhoff of Lumber Specialties-US LBM LLC will provide a component manufacturer’s viewpoint on the importance of understanding all of the costs associated with using different types of lumber – and the potential savings to be realized with MSR.
