Very smooth operator. Some sweet looking poplar, I love this stuff for making high end paint grade trim.

Nice sawmill I’d prefer to watch a bandsaw mill over a circular saw mill. Stay safe 🇨🇦

Very cool footage. So fast compared to my manual Norwood mill. Do those last larger pieces go to a different mill to get broken down to smaller boards?

Yes. The headsaw gets it square, then that cant goes to a secondary breakdown called a resaw. There it will be broken down into boards and Timbers.

Looks like the edger man was pretty busy.

He is especially with the other saw putting out 2 pieces to my 1. But the edger is automated and optimized.

What are the poplar boards used for

@@brianmitchell3775 I would love to go to a big Douglas fur mill and watch the sawyer ride on those huge carriages saw 12” by random width Timbers that are 40’ long and going through the gang edger. Nothing but dust and boards coming out the other end.
