Inside a Canadian lumber mill A big spruce log run
A tugboat pulls a spruce log boom to the mill at Cowan Lake. Logs are guided up a jack ladder by men with peavies and measured by a scaler to determine board feet. Saws cut the logs into boards, then the boards are edged and dried in sheds before finishing in a planing mill. Scraps burn in a 115 foot incinerator. Accidents at the mill have been nil this season.
