Automated Board Scanning Technique is used to Maximize Lumber Recovery from Each and Every Board Each potential furniture grade board is fed through a scanner and profiled by a computer that contains preset parameters based on grades needed by our customers. The scan information for each board is passed on to our digitally controlled Salem edger. This advanced and effective technology is just one example of our commitment to maximize recovery of our valuable timber resources, while producing the highest quality and value lumber products for our customers.
