What Is a Lumber Mill?
A lumber mill is simply a place in which trees can be processed into lumber, or planks of wood used for construction and other purposes. Also called a sawmill, a lumber mill can range from a large manufacturing plant to a small, simple, hand-operated machine with a blade that can cut long sections of wood and plane them into flat pieces. The lumber mill has been around for centuries, though the technology and efficiency of mills has changed dramatically.
