Continued from Leonards Mills: Shingle Mill, 1 of 2
Once he has the shingle in his hand the mill worker cuts one edge off…
…flips the shingle over…
…cuts the second edge off…
then flips the shingle into a pile.
Meanwhile the next shingle is ready…
Just to the left you can see a building sided with cedar shingles from this demonstration mill.

I was fortunate that during my September visit the Maine Forest and Logging Museum was having Living History Days.
The Maine Forest and Logging Museum in Bradley has a variety of exhibits intended “to preserve, celebrate and educate people about the sustainable forest culture of Maine.”
