Here are yet some more processing pictures taken at Town and Country Cedar Products up in Boyne Falls. I found a pile of tagged Northern White Cedar ready to be processed. I'm not sure if it was in a special location for its diameter or if it was on its way to the "hand peeling and hewing" area of production (think rustic, old-school lumber production with peeling and finishing done by hand using an adz - a scoop shaped axe) which I also took some pictures of. Using "modern" milling production at Town and Country, the harvested tree would undergo the "canting" process (log is cut into a square shape and the first layer of sapwood is removed) and then be sent to their kilns for drying before going to its final destination in the production mill.
