On the edges of the side boards that have been cut off in the sawline, a thin layer of bark is still present: The so called “wane.” The waney-edged boards are automatically edged and separated in the board edger. For this purpose, the boards pass through an infrared scanner that measures the bright/dark profile of each board. A computer uses the results to determine the greatest possible, usable (meaning "bright") rectangular area. 11 circular saws then cut the boards according to the calculated length and width.
Boards from 8 to 28 cm wide can be produced here.
