The Lumber industry is a production of harvesting trees that is used for making furniture, buildings, paper, and ship buildings. Lumber is produced from both softwood and hardwood to create the materials being used by consumers.
Lumber Industry is broken down into three divisions the logging industry; sawmill industry, and the panel industry. The logging industry includes cutting down the timber in lengths and transported by truck to the saw mill. At the saw mill the logs are passed through a debarker and then placed on steel carriage to be cut. However the panel industry uses glue and pressing techniques to materials left over into flat panels of wood.
Lumber has been used by humans to utilize wood for construction for thousands of years that has caused the industry to slow down due to the economy.
