Forest provides trees, and trees provide timber. Trees are the basic raw materials needed for processing timber. Timber can be processed and used for carpentry, building, and other related works. The process of converting timber into wood is called wood processing.
Timber processing can describe the various procedures involved in utilizing the wooden (timber) material, in order to create substances or supplies that will be more stable and durable. The processed timber will then be used for the manufacture of various timber-based goods.
