Here’s an illustration I recently created for Northern Woodlands magazine. It accompanies an article that describes the ways in which lumber mills are reusing wood byproducts. Various applications for the residual saw dust and wood shavings produced in these mills include biomass fuel, livestock bedding, paper mills, mulch, pellet mills, and heating fuel for the mills themselves. The illustration required an informal approach to a relatively technical process. Thanks to Patrick White at Northern Woodlands magazine for the fun project!
