Truth Webinars
A completely different approach to education:
Our webinars are a 1-2 punch that should put you in a position to make educated decisions about natural wood specification. We combine everything we have learned on our architect consults with the results we have seen in the field to identify challenges in natural wood use and specification.
Eradicating failure to promote success means approaching wood care and use from a “this is what you need to watch out for” point of view and not “wood is the greatest thing ever” perspective.

Exterior Wood Performance Considerations
Note: this is an AIA/CEU offering 1 learning unit and counts as “Health Safety & Welfare” HSW Credit.
Exterior Wood Performance Considerations is a foundational course where we cover the basics of what you should be considering at the design stage. An amalgamation of thousands of architect consultations it explores multi-thousand-dollar impact decisions that do not always get considered at the design stage.
We show you where the design itself can pose challenges to long term performance of natural wood and how to account for it. We examine failures to show you why you need to do things in a certain way.

Exterior Wood Stain Considerations
Note: this is an AIA/CEU offering 1 learning unit and counts as “Health Safety & Welfare” HSW Credit.
Exterior Wood Stain Considerations is an in-depth look at how the stain manufacturing industry has changed since the 2012 VOC Law change. We go directly at how this law (and the manufacturers' reaction to it) have created challenges that many people simply don’t know about until its too late. We explore why there have been so many failures since 2012 and present strategies to address these issues.
This webinar talks about the $100,000 difference in maintenance costs over 10 years depending on the decisions you make at the design stage.
We expose challenges on the manufacturing end so that you can navigate the ever-evolving landscape of long-term wood care.
In Conclusion
Wood love is the pitch, we all love wood, the catch is do we love it enough to take care of it?
We spend all our educational content on “the catch” because exposing pain points creates the basis for educated decision making.
