Knuckleboom Loaders Load Logs: A Trip to the Sawmill

Trucks and heavy machinery are the stars in Knuckleboom Loaders Load Logs: A Trip to the Sawmill by Joyce Slayton Mitchell, photos by Steven Borns. From the feller buncher that cuts down the trees to the knuckleboom loader that places the logs onto the trucks, as well as the head saw, chipper, planer and other machines that process the wood, this book incorporates full-color photos alongside snippets of text to help readers understand how trees are turned into usable material for building.
