In days of yore, settlers could still go out onto their land, select a tree and cut it down so that they could use its wood. Those days are long gone. At first they would have been replaced by small sawmill operations who either sawed wood brought to them by others or had timber concessions of their own and did their own logging. Human population growth and their dependence on wood products began to outstrip the supply of trees that could be felled and sent to the saw mills to produce Lumber For Laguna Niguel.
Supply Chain
These days, trees are something of a protected commodity and a commercial enterprise will have the necessary permits to fell a certain number of trees in a given area (usually after giving an undertaking to rehabilitate that land after logging it). The current nature of the timber business means that it is no longer practical to visit local sawmills and buy your Lumber In Laguna Niguel CA directly from them. The felled trees would have been taken to a large processing center where the logs will be sawn into the beams and planks that we call lumber. Other wood from the timber will be turned into things like plywood and chip or fibre boards within the same facility.
All those products will then be sold wholesale to big stockists and dealers in wood products – some of these might sell directly to the public but, it is more likely that they will be supplying a network of minor dealers who run DIY superstores or firms specializing in wood product sales to both the public at large and local wood craftsmen and construction companies. It is to one of these that most buyers looking for Lumber In Laguna Niguel will turn.
Who Buys Lumber?
Since lumber is “as sawn” wood, it is either rough edged or, possibly supplied with one or more edges that may have been smoothed at the mill; it is, effectively, a semi-finished product. In that state, it is not acceptable for direct use on such items as doors, window frames, furniture, etc. In fact, in all cases where the lumber is to be visible it has to undergo quite a skilled finishing process to make it suitable. This means that the public at large are unlikely to be purchasing lumber for such purposes, preferring instead to let the professional companies turn the lumber into finished items.
Raw lumber is widely used in the form supplied from the sawmill for the wood posts, etc that make up a frame house. Again, very few members of the public at large build their own homes so it will be the construction companies that are buying the Lumber In Laguna Niguel.
