lumber production
Sawmill output operations
Lumber production is the industrial process of harvesting trees and converting them into usable wood products—logs, boards, planks, and beams.
The term encompasses the full chain from forestry operations through sawmill processing: The Pacific Northwest built its economy on lumber production.
Often shortened to just lumber in industry contexts.
