"From Logs to Lumber": Daxi Sawmilling Special Exhibition (「剖木成材」大溪製材特展)

Logs from the forest eventually become the door panels, tables, chairs, and utensils in our daily lives. Logs originate from nature and, after multiple processes, become lumber, entering people's lives as an essential material. After processing in a "sawmill" through cutting and drying, logs are no longer just natural objects. Once they are given specifications and dimensions to become lumber, infinite possibilities arise.
Let us walk into the sawmills of Daxi (大溪) through the exhibition and explore the transformation process from log to lumber. Through the exhibition's five themes: "Forest Logs," "Selecting Wood," "Drying to Maturity," "Crafting with Heart," and "New Possibilities in the Sawmilling Industry," witness the craftsmanship of sawmilling masters as they select and cut logs, sharpen saw blades, and dry the wood, and rediscover the ubiquitous wood in our lives.
