Inside America’s Last Steam-Powered Sawmill | The Enduring Legacy of Hull-Oakes Lumber

In an industry obsessed with speed, automation, and efficiency, Hull-Oakes Lumber stands apart — not because it modernized, but because it didn’t. This steam-powered sawmill in Oregon remains the last large-scale facility in America capable of processing extreme-length logs, some reaching over 25 meters. While most modern mills are optimized for uniform inputs, Hull-Oakes was built for irregularity, weight, and raw scale. Inside, steam turbines drive band saws weighing tens of tons. Human judgment still decides every critical cut. Waste is not ignored — bark, slabs, and offcuts are looped back as fuel or material. This is not a museum. It’s a working system that survives because it still solves problems modern technology avoids. Watch closely. Some machines don’t disappear — they outlast trends. -------------------------------------------------------- COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER Green Technology does not fully own the material compiled in this video.
