With that in mind, we've created the Sawmill Gallery - where sawyers and log handling companies can upload photos of their sawmill operation, the products produced, and provide basic information about the setup of their sawmill. Creating a listing at the Sawmill Gallery is easy, and free: all you need is a digital camera.
