A lumbermill is a facility that processes raw logs into usable lumber products. It is also known as a sawmill or a wood mill. Other synonyms include wood processing plant, timber mill, wood factory, sawing operation, wood-cutting facility, and timber yard. All of these terms refer to the same type of manufacturing plant: a location where wood is transformed from its raw state into planks, boards, and other products. Whether you call it a sawmill or a timber mill, the goal of a lumbermill is to take raw logs and turn them into useful products that can be used in construction, furniture making, and other applications.
