Discover the full story of how lumber is made and moved from forest to market.
This authoritative guide surveys every step of the industry, from forest resources and mill design to the latest in equipment, handling systems, and market structures. It explains how mills operate, how lumber is sawn, seasoned, and re-manufactured, and how products reach domestic and international customers. The book combines practical detail with industry context, helping readers understand both daily operations and long‑term trends.
This edition covers:- The flow of lumber manufacture, including sawmilling, edging, trimming, and the use of planing mills.
- How different seasons, kilns, and storage affect lumber weight, quality, and price.
- The systems that move timber and finished product, from docks and monorails to road and rail transport.
- How lumber is graded, inspected, and marketed in domestic and foreign markets.
- Refuse disposal, fuel use, and by‑product development such as lathes and hogged fuel.
- The organization of lumber markets, associations, and the regulatory framework shaping the industry.
- A clear journey through the chain of production, with real‑world processes explained in plain language.
- Practical details about equipment, methods, and plant layout that illuminate daily work in mills.
- Insight into pricing, product standards, and the ways markets influence operations.
- An overview of safety, labor, and the social context surrounding sawmill work.
