There are several methods of wood conversion used in the industry depending on the desired outcome and intended application. Sawmilling is a common method where logs are cut lengthwise using saws to produce boards or planks of different dimensions. Veneering is another method that involves slicing thin layers from larger pieces of wood for decorative or functional purposes such as creating veneer sheets used in furniture manufacturing. Other methods include planing, milling, shaping, laminating, bonding, drying, and preserving through treatments like pressure treatment with chemicals to enhance durability and resistance against decay or insects. These methods vary in complexity and efficiency but all contribute to transforming raw wood into usable products across different industries.
