This website was developed as a primary resource aimed at providing tools and information for maximizing profits
through improved lumber utilization and grading efficiency in the primary processing of Appalachian Hardwoods.
This central hub provides the tools and information obtained from the research and development process at West Virginia University and elsewhere.
The "3D Lumber Visualization Edging and Trimming Program" was developed by researchers at the Wood Science and Technology Program,
Division of Forestry and Natural Resources, West Virginia University. The program simulates the sawmill activities of lumber edging,
trimming, and grading and can be used to help train lumber graders and saw mill workers to increase efficiency and value recovery.
The program is available at no cost and user support is available.
