The nine-minute film is a documentary about how hardwood lumber is manufactured in a modern sawmill. Initially produced for its internal Banks School, which educates new employees and Banks' visiting customers, the film has recently been released on YouTube and is available to the public to help educate and promote the industry.

Footage for the film was shot at three different sawmills throughout Michigan and Indiana, including Maple Rapids Sawmill, Devereaux Sawmill, and Loggers, Inc. The film production studio, ruef Design, also visited several working forests to capture footage of the selection and harvesting process.
