Wood chip production
Wood chip production. Wood chips being produced at a sawmill. The chips are produced during the cutting of logs into pieces of timber. The wood chips may be used for a variety of purposes. They may compressed to form boards ( chipboard ) then laminated with an outer wood or plastic veneer, and sold as a cheap alternative to solid timber in the furniture industry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures the fascinating process of wood chip production at a sawmill. The image showcases the mechanical precision and technological advancements involved in transforming raw logs into valuable pieces of timber. As the logs are skillfully cut, wood chips are produced as a byproduct, forming a towering pile that represents the efficiency of mass production in the logging industry. These versatile wood chips serve various purposes beyond their initial creation. They can be compressed to create sturdy boards known as chipboard, which find extensive use in construction and furniture manufacturing. To enhance their aesthetic appeal, these boards may also be laminated with an outer layer made of either wood or plastic veneer. The significance of this photograph extends beyond its portrayal of industrial processes; it symbolizes Canada's rich forestry heritage and its contribution to North America's timber industry. With its vast forests serving as abundant sources of raw materials, Canada has become synonymous with excellence in wooden products worldwide. As we admire this snapshot capturing technology meeting nature head-on, let us appreciate how innovation continues to shape our world while acknowledging the vital role played by industries like logging in providing sustainable resources for our everyday lives.
