    The flow chart summarises in graphic form the procedure whereby wood is

    converted from trees into a sellable product. There are 6 main steps involved
    in the process.
    The first stage is the harvesting of the trees that supply the wood, using a
    felling machine, a vehicle that looks similar to a tractor, followed by the felled
    tree logs being transported by truck to the saw mill. In the saw mill, the logs
    are then cut into shape using electrical saws to convert them into useable
    timber planks. At this stage, the new timber is still wet so, after this stage, in
    order to dry the wood so that it can be used for construction, the timber is
    then moved to a kiln building. Here it is heated so that moisture evaporates
    from the wood out through the kiln roof. The dried wood is then ready to be
    used for the construction of products, in this case furniture such as chairs,
    tables and doors. The final stage in the process sees the finished product or
    products being transported by truck again, this time to the stores, where they
    can be sold on to consumers.
