Thermally Modified Wood: Changing How Wood Is Used

World Millwork Alliance (WMA) is excited to welcome back Hal Mitchell, President of AHC Hardwood Group, for a one-hour educational webinar on Thermally Modified Wood.

Thermally modified wood is rapidly changing how architects, builders, and wholesale distributors think about exterior wood applications—and this one-hour webinar explains why. This session will build on Hal's well-attended presentation at the WMA Annual Convention and goes deeper into the science, performance, and real-world applications of thermally modified lumber.

Attendees will gain a practical understanding of what thermally modified wood is, how it’s made, and why it’s considered one of the most sustainable building products available today—offering a chemical-free alternative to treated lumber and tropical hardwoods.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• What thermally modified lumber is and how the high-heat process permanently changes wood at a cellular level.

• Why thermally modified wood delivers superior dimensional stability, decay resistance, and longevity.
