Log to Lumber - How American Lumber is Made

So, the next time you encounter a piece of lumber or a wooden product, remember the journey it took from the forest to your hands. The lumber industry's commitment to sustainable practices, including sawmill operations, recycling and waste reduction, and sustainable logging practices, ensures that we can continue to enjoy the beauty, functionality, and versatility of wood for generations to come.

It must be unreal sitting next to a river and watch a unending stream of logs float by

[@caseymurphy244]

A big supporter of the Timber industry. Had 12 year's in a Plywood plant in Montana. But damn what a tough way to make a living. And honestly doesn't pay that well. Im a janitor now working at a local university. The particle board plant in my hometown start workers out only about $2 an hour more than Im making. Developed carpal tunnel and rotary cuff issues from the mill also.

Parabéns ótimo vídeo sobre manejo florestal!

[@frankmorgan2772]

MAs quando os brasileiros comecam a fazer um "manejo florestal" na regiao amazonica.....eles gritam e protestam, as ONGs recebem malas$$$$ para criar narrativas de criminosos agricultores, enquanto os americanos e canadians derrubam milhoes de arvores nas suas florestas !!! Eu sei que muitas dessas arvores sao reflorestamento, mas as grandes, centenarias arvores nao , sao florestas nativas sendo derrubadas !!

It is kind of fun to see how things were done 50 years ago in the lumber industry. Do you have any video of modern equipment and methods?

[@hollyedwards4789]

We still do it like this in most places around the world in 2024 not much has changed in the logging industry

Hello sir, I am a craftsman in the field of tree cutting and automatic saw maintenance. I am looking for work. Can I find work with your team? I am from Morocco.

[@williamhuber7423]

Where is the replanting in the process?

[@HubertofLiege]

After logging in the spring

[@TronVila]

This video is all staged. They replant before they remove a single tree. It chokes out the forest and the trees they want die and fall over. Then the loggers give the fallen trees gentle hugs and they float out of the forest if the chosen trees identify as lumber in the afterlife. We never assume the gender of a fallen tree.

What kind of horsepower are in your trucks?

[@knotbumper]

450-600 HP for highway trucks, up to 1000 HP for off highway trucks

[@stevenikitas8170]

I have been saying for many years that the entire global energy supply can be gotten from wood. The world's forests are 4 times the size of the United States, including Alaska. If you only used one of those forests, and harvested it in sustainable ways, the world could use wood as its primary energy source while only harvesting 1% of the trees. Wood is just like coal. It has been used for thousands of years as a heating element for both residential and commercial purposes. Not only can wood be burned directly in power plants, industrial applications and for home heating (chips or pellets), but it can be used to produce methanol fuel (alcohol fuel). This is done by putting wood (like sawdust or chips) in water, boiling the water and then drawing off the liquid, which has absorbed chemicals from the wood (just like making whiskey from corn). The leftover wood then can be dried and burned as fuel. Methanol can be used as heating fuel or to power automobiles.

[@cattleNhay]

Hemp would be much more efficient, grows hundreds of times faster and bio diesel can be made from seeds..paper, clothing and 50´000 other products. Everyone could sustain themselves with energy needs on just a few acres..but a few rich people would loose billions so that will never happen.

[@hollyedwards4789]

Hemp is batter then trees for what you are talking about

[@alanburke1893]

Study the economics behind Drax in the UK... only sustainable due to massive government subsidies and importation of wood pellets from US. Neither economical nor ecological.... just a clever short-term accounting trick

they cut trees too good DO they plant trees too ?

[@fasx56]

487 Depending on the State Laws where the logging is going on there are tree re- planting in logged areas and in areas where Forest Fires have burned large areas. Tree planting in logged areas started back in the 1950s .

Hey FLT; the Lumber Industry doesn't do anything that doesn't generate an income. Your 'environmentally friendly' shows how deaf you are. What is the advantage of wood pellets or blocks compared to fossil fuels...ZERO! It's still a burning practice that releases CO2 into the atmosphere. It's only advantage is the local availability of the product & ease of transport. It's not the Lumber Industry job to be 'Eco-Friendly'; it's to make a profit & that's done by reducing waste as much as possible. Using what's available & finding a market for the product or waste product. This is Capitalism, not climate change making everyone fearful of nothing.

[@MRALBERT571]

A lot of the crooked lumber is from the heart of the tree the best lumber is the outside of tree, the sap wood. In a lot of trees that would be the white or lighter colored wood if i remember right.

It cannot be denied that the needs of life and natural disasters always go hand in hand. Until later when this earth is swallowed into human stomachs. There is no need to mourn and regret the consequences.

[@jasoneverett]

In the intricate tapestry of existence, an inexorable intertwining of life's exigencies and the capricious whims of natural cataclysms becomes manifest. One cannot gainsay the symbiotic dance between the imperatives of survival and the capricious orchestrations of terrestrial upheavals. A temporal trajectory unfolds, envisaging a future epoch wherein this terrestrial orb, in its cosmic fate, succumbs to the engulfing maw of humanity's alimentary pursuits. Amidst this cosmic spectacle, a chorus of existential tribulations may arise, yet there exists a resolute injunction against the lamentation and rueful retrospection of the resultant repercussions. In the intricate calculus of cosmic choreography, the nexus of necessity and calamity persists as an enigmatic tableau, inviting contemplation without the pallor of remorse.

America is the most wasteful country in the world for wood as well as other resources. We will tear down and build again in as little as 10 years, just to satisfy ignorance of things like "it`s outdated", "it's to small", "it's not the style I want" and so much more. When suburbia began, and it was dubbed the American dream, families of 4 to 5 lived in 900 to 1200 sq ft homes,1200 being big. Now days, the same average family has to have 1900 to 2500 sq ft, and even more. There are all sorts of excuses they dub as reasons why, but before that even starts, just remember several Native Americans lived in Tepees a lot smaller, and were content, so what's your excuse? The whole American consumerism is an addiction, and like any addiction, there is denial and rationalization over the reality behind the problem. Its nauseating to hear these people that make entirely more money than they have sense go on about how they have to have space. It`s in their heads, its wasteful, selfish and needs to be controlled. I have done virtual home tours through modern homes 250.000 to 400.000. Closets in some of these homes are bigger than average living rooms. Entirely narcissistic to feel you need that. The amount of wasted resources to build that is redundant. If mankind could ever learn that simple surviving and spiritual fulfilment is all that's necessary, we would be a better world. But the emotional fears of humanity keep driving it to doom itself, in Americas case the way average people are merited in status is monetary and materialistic achievements, the more the higher in the social respect you earn. It's not about how well you achieve; it's about how well you maintain. Not just for yourself, but all around you. Addicts love to rationalize reality to fit their own narrative, they believe their own lies, then get hostile and defensive when someone else doesn't. Achievement is necessary to maintain in life, but to what degree that's done is entirely controlled. If you deem the need to have any more than you need you need to assess your morals and ethics. Don't confuse arrogance with wisdom, denial and rationalization will make over achievers think they are smarter than others. It's a lie you made yourself believe, you're not mentally healthy....

[@snydedon9636]

How American wood is made? We ship the logs to Canada, they do all the milling and ship the finished lumber back to America. We don’t do $hit in America anymore. Shame on US.
