TIMBERS

Timber is also another name for wood, whether still standing in the form of tress or felled and turned into boards for construction and carpentry.some people may also refer to it as lumber, or differentiate between unprocessed wood and lumber as cut wood packaged for commercial sale.the timber industries around the world are huge, providing wood for a variety of products from paper to partcleboards.before timber is felled it must be assessed by foresters who determine how valuable it is and whether or not it is safe to harvest. In many regions of the world a harvest plan must be filed with a government agency indicating intent to fell trees in a particular region. If the plan is approved a logging company sends in loggers and supports stuff to fell the trees and prepare them for shipment to an offsite mill.in some cases a mill may be established in the forest if there is a lot of wood that needs to be processed.
