I took it upon myself to create a couple of web pages that may help to answer and inform woodworkers about some typical sawmill and logging terms. I know logging and sawmilling is generally not part of the average woodworkers realm, but I thought some of you might like to be informed a bit.
If you get the chance, please check out the four web pages I put together on my website. I think they may be informative and if nothing else, interesting to fellow woodworkers. I worked hard to get as many pictures and illistrations as possible, and to make them big in size so it is clear what I am talking about.
I am in the hopes that in the future, if nothing else you will have a little better understanding of how logs and boards get to the lumber yards we all visit. Here are the links:
