A closer look at the blade, and the mechanism which turns the blade. Love's Sawmill, Springport, Michigan; summer of 1988. Camera: Minolta Freedom 100

This photo shows how the pieces all fit together. Springport, Michigan; 1988. Camera: Minolta Freedom 100

Another closeup of the machinery which runs the saw. Danged if I know what this stuff does, but it looks interesting. Springport, Michigan; 1988. Taken with a Minolta Freedom 100.

The same equipment as yesterday's photograph , from another angle. And the surrounding environment. Love's Sawmill, Springport, Michigan; 1988. Photo taken with a Minolta Freedom 100. Small sawmill operations seem always to be pretty slapdash, but this one's different. I expected (but didn't find) large piles of sawdust on the grounds. Another surprise was that this downtown sawmill used an apparently-portable mill for the work. A third was that they didn't house that mill under a roof. As I said, different. My favorite picture in this set, by the way.

You may have noticed the wood piles in yesterday's Springport photograph . Those were on the property of Love's Sawmill; for the next few days we'll be exploring that facility as it looked in 1988. As is often the case, this sawmill's a little raggedy. Camera: Minolta Freedom 100
