Disambiguation: Forests and trees may be referred to as timber with regard to their merchantable value and volume as forest products, particularly in older references. Timber is a term for the unprocessed wood from a tree, perhaps as stumpage, (still living and intact trees), or after felling. Timber may be used synonymously with log, sawlog, veneer log, pole, pulpwood, fuelwood or cordwood but not usually lumber or cant as these are processed dimensional forms output from a sawmill.

The initial felling and transport of timber, known as logging may be by logging systems that consist of an assemblage of specialized forestry equipment with secondary transport proceeding by timber truck, rail or water as tree-length logs or bucked cut-to-length logs for ease of handling. At this initial stage, timber still bears some resemblance to the tree trunk and will have a cylindrical form, branch stubs or small limbs attached (particularly so with many coniferous species).

Timber industry may be used synonymously with logging industry or wood industry, for the extractive production of timber from forests, including the felling, transport, and associated forestry practices, up to delivery at the gate of wood processing plants or mills. Sawmills, pulp mills, plywood mills, OSB mills are examples of types of mills that are counted as members of the wood processing industry. However, vertically-integrated companies may also own forest land (generally known as industrial forest land) and conduct their own logging operations and count as part of the timber/logging/wood industry.
