To make more useful sizes of boards from the big pieces of timber that are delivered, workers take a chainsaw to the timber to cut boards from it. Getting a long cut, straight enough to be used for making a board, requires a lot of practice.
Note the complete lack of eye and foot protection. No one I saw wore eye protection in the boatyards, and the only workers not wearing flip-flops are the ones in bare feet.

Unloading lumber off a truck to where I believe a boat will be built. The stakes in the water keep the wood from floating away. Note how thick some of the lumber is. I'll explain why tomorrow.

Schooners under construction. I counted a total of 39 schooners under construction in Cajaíba, plus several other wooden boats.
