Lumber manufacturing is the process of converting raw logs into finished wood products such as boards, planks, and beams. This industry involves a range of activities including harvesting, sawing, drying, and planing wood. The lumber manufacturing process begins with the selection and felling of trees, which are then transported to sawmills for processing. Once at the sawmill, the logs are debarked and cut into various sizes and shapes using specialized equipment. The cut lumber is then dried to reduce moisture content and prevent warping, before being planed to create a smooth surface and uniform thickness. The finished lumber is then sorted and graded based on quality and intended use.
