First the forklift puts the logs up onto the deck.
|
Then the cut-off saw cuts the logs to length.
|
The debarker strips the bark off the logs.
|
|
Logs
run down these chains to get to the carriage.
|
Then the logs are sawn up with a circle saw.
|
The edgerman gets the slabs suitable for boards, and lets the scraps go on to the chipper.
|
|
After the edger, the boards run across these trimmers to have both ends trimmed to our
pre-set lengths.
|
The chipper grinds up all other slabs into chips and blows them into vans. This is our
new chipper, installed December 2008.
|
These are our chips that we sell
to the paper mill. They are not available for retail purchase.
|
|
All our lumber falls down from the trimmers onto this set of chains where it is stacked
on either side.
|
This
is the fileroom, where we file our own saws.
|
Some of our timbers on large orders
are surfaced at our planer mill. We do not dress 1" or 2" lumber.
