Who wants to be a Peterson Representative?!
As a Peterson sawmill owner, you are
already aware that we produce a great product and provide excellent customer
service, and we need your help to pass that knowledge onto potential new
owners by representing us in your area!
There are two ways you can represent
Peterson Portable Sawmills:
1. Become a Peterson Referral - A mill
owner who speaks to customers on the phone about their experiences
with their mill, allows visitors to their milling site to see it in
action, or takes their mill to a show to operate in front of the general
public. A Peterson Referral is rewarded with Peterson Points, which can
be exchanged for merchandise, accessories or spare parts, and if you earn
enough, a Skillmill or a trip to visit us in New Zealand!
2. Become a Peterson State
Representative - A mill owner and experienced operator who does all of the
above and more for an entire State, as a paid Representative of Peterson
Portable Sawmills. There is more responsibility required with this
option, and the remuneration is reflected in that. For custom sawyers,
this option is complimentary to your existing business, as it enables you to
network with people who may need your services in the future.If you are interested in finding out more
about either of the options outlined above, our newly appointed International
Distribution Consultant, Lee Morris is waiting to hear from you, email Lee, or
call him on USA: 1-877-327-1471 or Australia: 1 800 150 529.

Article: Milling and Grading New Zealand Growen Blackwood . . .
Rarefind Timbers is a small business located on the outskirts of Hamilton. We
specialise in New Zealand-grown interesting, unusual and sometimes rare timbers.
We carry a wide range of native and exotic hardwood and softwood timbers, of
which Blackwood is one.
Blackwood is a much sought after timber, especially by cabinetmakers because of it, rich dark colour and fine finish. Blackwood is a species that
brings people to our yard because of its dark colouring. Our customer base is growing in number and variety, from cabinetmakers and joinery firms
through to very specialist woodworkers making and restoring gunstocks or musical instrument, and all manner of other interesting things.

Zack and Taylor in Cleveland Ohio, before heading off to a Tractor Pull at a
local county fair. Find out
