We traveled to a hardwood logging/processing plant.

A chainsaw operator cuts through a trunk with his meter long blade.

Workers pose for the camera.

More workers pause for the shot.

The manufacturing floor looms large in front of us.

The mill saw drags logs across its blade.

Freshly cut wood is placed into a steamer.

After 2 months the logs start to show their potential colours.

After three months the logs have changed colour completely with all manner of oranges and browns.

The scale of the operation is slightly overwhelming.

Employees personal belongings are left in beautiful simply made lockers alongside the production line.
