The Alaska Lumber Grading Program provides a certification course to allow small and medium-scale sawmill operators to produce dimension lumber from local spruce, hemlock, and yellow cedar for home construction in Alaska. When the conditions of the program are met, the lumber may be accepted as an alternative to grade-stamped lumber for structural applications where required by residential building codes.
Individuals who complete the one-day training and pass the associated exam will be issued a renewable 5-year certificate allowing them to self-grade dimension lumber for personal use or for sale.
Location: University of Alaska Southeast - Sitka; 1332 Seward Ave.
