Sawmilling 3x12 boards in a single pass

Here we are using a 1979 Mighty Mite dual circular blade diesel powered mobile sawmill to make some 3x12 boards. Vertical blade is making a 12 inch cut and the horizontal a 3 inch (the horizontal blade can cut up to 8 inch allowing for 8x12 beams to be cut in a single pass). We are milling from cottonwood which is considered a sort of garbage wood for building or firewood. But is does become pretty tough when it dries and makes good trailer decking or side boards for dump trucks, which is what these will be used for.
