Sustainable lumber can shape a brighter future, promoting eco-friendly solutions and responsible building for generations to come.
Lumber manufacturing varies globally based on wood species, regional sizing, grading standards, and environmental regulations. Key regional differences shape how logs are processed into usable lumber. Should it be a highly automated mill focusing on yield and precision or a more traditional mill with focus on volume and speed they all start from debarking the logs, followed by sawing, green sorting (also dimension sorting), drying, grading (also dry sorting), and finally packaging. Further processing from e.g. planing to painting, thermal modification is an add on to raw lumber manufacturing.
