This photo shows a lumber mill in St. Anthony, Indiana in 1941. Most early mills used circular saws to produce boards. Logs were secured onto a movable platformand fed into the rotating saw. The first pass removed a slice of bark and wood from the side of the log; the log was then turned a quarter-turn on the carriage, and another slice was taken. Four trips through the saw would yield a square-sided cant which could then be sawed into boards.
