It was to my understanding that an organization, i.e. TF Guild, could become an official inspecting agency and any individual/entity could contact TF Guild directly for a grading job and fill out the form then TF Guild can send a certificated grader (based on nearest location) to the site for inspecting and grading.
I just emailed David of TP Inspections and await his reply on his answer what timberwrestler comment "To maintain your grading certification, it cost a good chunk of money, you have to grade a lot of timber (there's a minimum), and you have to have regular inspections. It's quite a responsibility." But you have to admit that if the TF company in Tennessee have their own graders, they can't be producing way too many timbers to meet the requirements?
It is just my opinion that I think it would be neat if TF Guild had their own Timber Grading division, and I think that major of the members would agree on this? It is worth looking into and decide whether or not it is feasible for the organization or not.
