What 1610 includes

• The process of sawing, planing, shaping, drying, and chemically treating wood with wood preservatives or other materials begins with logs being cut into sections, which may be further cut into smaller sizes or shaped using a lathe or other shaping tools. The sawn-off logs or other shapes are then planed or smoothed and treated with wood preservatives. These preservatives involve injecting chemicals into the wood using various methods to protect it from decay due to weathering, damage from wood-boring insects, and fungi.
