What is Inside a Bundle of our Hard Maple Rips?

We hired a student from Penn State's Forestry program as summer intern to conduct an analysis on our Hard Maple hardwood rip products. The objective to was document and verify what our customers can expect when purchasing a load of rips from us.

As part of the analysis the following sample size was used for auditing purposes:

• 3,008 pieces of 70% Usable & Better Hardwood Rips
• 2,337 pieces of Clear 1 Face 2 Edge Hardwood Rips



Our findings revealed the following results.
