Another view of the yard and the whole tree cross cut area. Obviously part of the saw mill intake was in the form of these long logs which were laid out and then depending on produce demand could be quickly converted to the required lengths and passed through the mill.

The men are Crosscutting, the young man on the right is holding a measuring stick usually called a Spoke but sometimes mispronounced as "Spog".
