What's on the Sawmill? Hint…exotic species and rare!
What happens here
Once the final cut is made and the saw head is returned to its home position, carefully inspect the newly sawn board. The video shows the smooth, freshly cut surface of the plank. Feel the surface to check for smoothness and consistency, and visually examine it for any imperfections, such as uneven thickness or saw marks. Remove the finished board from the sawmill bed, taking care not to damage it. If more cuts are planned for the same log or a new log, prepare the setup accordingly. The fresh lumber can then be stacked for drying or further processing.
Goal: Evaluate the quality of the sawn lumber and prepare for next steps
