Thank you, Marty Hewins for organizing and hosting this years sawmill tour.
Thank you to Hewins Sawmill and logging, Simpson and Sons Sawmill, and Walker Pallets, for
allowing us to tour your facilities during our tour.
These pictures are from the Simpson and Sons Sawmill.
At Simpson and Sons Sawmill every part of the tree is utilized. The bark is used for landscape mulch, the
tree is sawed for lumber, the woodchips are sent to a local college to be used as fuel for their boilers for heat. The sawdust
is utilized at the sawmill itself to heat the kilns and steamer.
