Energy use in mechanical forest industry Logs are the raw material of sawn wood. They can be either softwood or hardwood. The logs must be debarked before cutting. Sawn woods are cut into different sizes and shapes. The entire log cannot be used for producing sawn wood and about half of it will convert to
