lumber milling

Lumber milling is the process of transforming raw logs into usable timber. It involves cutting, shaping, and sizing logs using specialized machines called sawmills. First, logs are peeled or squared to remove bark. Then, they are cut into planks, boards, or other lumber shapes depending on the desired dimensions. The process can include planing to smooth surfaces and grading to determine quality. Milling ensures that the wood is uniformly shaped and prepared for construction, furniture, or other uses. Overall, it converts natural logs into carefully processed, market-ready wood products.
