I can provide clients with training in timber cruising, log scaling, or grading of hardwood trees, logs, or hardwood lumber. I offer training in other specialized topics, including:

1. GPS equipment & software, including the Trimble Geo series of mapping grade instruments, the Garmin 60 & ProXH/Ranger PDA, and Terra Snyc.
2. Use of specialized cruising equipment, including the Speigel Relaskop, LaserTech Impulse, and Trupulse.
3. Use of the SuperAce cruise software.
4. My alternative methods of check cruising, ocular stand estimation, and lumber quality control sampling.
5. Area traversing or property line location, using time-saving specialty equipment & software including Traverse PC, the MapStar total station, and GPS equipment.
6. I offer training in "micro" sawmilling, using the Lucas and Petersen portable sawmills.

Some training can be done via email and phone conferencing. More complicated topics will require one to five day workshops at a field training site convenient to the client.

I can provide training services at an hourly rate of $75, plus reasonable travel expenses.
