roundwood
Felled, unsawn trunks
Roundwood is timber in its natural cylindrical form—logs, poles, or branches that haven't been sawed into lumber or processed into boards.
The term distinguishes raw harvested wood from milled products: The mill buys roundwood and sells finished lumber.
Roundwood includes everything from pulpwood destined for paper mills to posts and pilings used whole.
