A large pile of sawdust sits on the log deck of an unidentified sawmill. From off-camera, more sawdust flies through the air and onto the pile. Taller piles can be seen in the background, sitting amidst criss-crossing crossbeams and nondescript milling equipment under a clear sky.

A sawmill worker drives a pettibone cary-lift sits through a snowy lumber yard, holding a large section of a felled tree in its claws. Other large log sections can be seen to the lift's right, with stacks of lumber visible far behind it. A stand of tall pine trees under an overcast sky can be seen in the background.

At the log deck of a sawmill, an industrial sized circular saw mounted on a crossbeam makes a cut into a broad section of a felled tree from above. The top of the log section is partially squared off, showing that timbers have already been cut from it. The bark on the exterior of the log section is caked with snow. Sawdust flies from the running circular saw and litters the surface of the log deck in large piles. Stacks of lumber can be seen behind the log section. Distant trees under an overcast sky can be seen in the background. Mighty Mite is a manufacturer of power tools.

Part of another lot can be seen behind them, containing fences, piles of dirt or gravel, and various industrial scaffolds. Mills and related industrial buildings can be seen far in the background. A forested coastline is visible behind the mills.
