I blurred the faces to respect their religious beliefs.

Welcome to Springfield, Belize Sawmill, where horsepower drives everything. Eight horses power the operation, guided by children with whips. The drive shaft, originating here, powers the machinery that cuts and shapes wood with the help of water. After cutting, wood is burned or repurposed, and oxen transport logs.

The mill operates without electricity or engines, using horses exclusively. Sawdust is collected for various uses, and today's focus is crafting fencing materials. Customers from various communities purchase different wood types, from construction-grade to fine interior materials.
Springfield, Belize Sawmill: A blend of tradition and cleaver thinking, showcasing the power of nature and human craftsmanship.
