... why not start with timber grading? See if the Guild will explore with the timber grading organizations some way we can be trained at Guild meetings, and for a reasonable fee each year, certify the grade of the timbers that go into our frames. This might already be covered by your insurance. That's something else that the Guild could check.
DKR,
Good idea. I think the Guild should look into making it easier for us to become certified graders. I will see what kind of interest I can stir up about this. Obviously it is already seen as an issue, as I can remember several grading courses being offered over the last few years at various guild events.
