Environmentalists protested the lumberjacks’ actions because they were chopping down all the trees for their lumber.

Once the logging company finished the order, the workers would pile the lumber into a truck headed for the paper mill.

After the trees were chopped down, the logs were sawed, shaped, and sanded to become pieces of lumber.

The product was still considered lumber since it was a raw material, but it would become a wood product when it was transformed into a floorboard.

In order to make my deck, I headed to the area of Home Depot that carried lumber stacked neatly on the tall shelves.
