AWMA’s Members Network,<br />
Benefit From New Website<br />
West Palm Beach, FL–The American Walnut<br />
Manufacturers Association (AWMA)<br />
met here recently during the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Hardwood</strong><br />
Lumber Association’s annual convention<br />
to conduct their semi-annual business meeting<br />
with attending members.<br />
AWMA members discussed current market<br />
trends for lumber and logs and agreed that robust<br />
markets continue for all things pertaining<br />
to Walnut. Competition for logs is strong domestically<br />
and internationally and green Walnut<br />
lumber is in high demand for all grades and<br />
species. The only market softness mentioned<br />
was for kiln-dried lumber in lower grades.<br />

AWMA continues to focus on species advocacy<br />
and marketing programs that benefit<br />
membership. AWMA will be having a LinkedIn<br />
profile in the near future that will combine with<br />
their new website that features a product inquiry<br />
opportunity that members have found very<br />
beneficial.<br />
AWMA will be looking for new opportunities<br />
to educate architects and designers, in particular,<br />
on the use and selection of Walnut for interior<br />
projects. AWMA’s next business meeting will<br />
be in February at the annual Indiana <strong>Hardwood</strong><br />
Lumbermen’s Association meeting in Indianapolis.<br />
