roundwood product
Quick Summary
Roundwood products are primary wood processing outputs that retain their round form. These include poles used for utility lines and pilings for foundations, as well as posts for fences and supports. Typically, roundwood products undergo preservative treatment to enhance their durability. Before use, the bark is removed, and the wood may be shaved to smooth the surface, framed with necessary cuts or holes, and incised to allow better penetration of preservatives. These roundwood items can be used directly or serve as intermediate materials for secondary products like furniture or building structures.1
