lumber mills

Wood cutting facilities

Lumber mills are industrial facilities where logs are cut into boards, planks, and other usable timber products.

The term is interchangeable with sawmill, though lumber mill emphasizes the finished product rather than the cutting process: The old lumber mill employed half the town.

Three lumber mills operated along the river.
