Cut timber being stacked for drying
Sawmill. A truck carrying a stack of freshly cut wood at a sawmill. Once the wood has been cut from the log, it must dry before being sold. Drying increases rigidity and makes it easier to cut and drill. Dry lumber is also less prone to warping or shrinkage. Photographed at Omsk, Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the process of preparing cut timber for drying at a sawmill in Omsk, Russia. In the image, a truck can be seen transporting a stack of freshly cut wood to the designated drying area. The importance of this step lies in allowing the wood to dry thoroughly before it is ready for sale. Drying enhances its rigidity and facilitates easier cutting and drilling processes. Moreover, dry lumber is less susceptible to warping or shrinkage, ensuring its durability over time. The picturesque landscape showcases rows upon rows of neatly stacked timber piles, highlighting the sheer volume and significance of this renewable resource. A dedicated worker operates a fork lift with precision as they carefully arrange each piece into place. This meticulous stacking technique ensures efficient use of space while promoting optimal air circulation around every log. Located in Siberia, Russia's vast forests provide an abundant supply of raw materials for various industries. This particular sawmill exemplifies how these natural resources are harnessed responsibly and sustainably. Captured by Science Photo Library without any commercial intentions, this photograph serves as both an educational tool and an artistic representation of the intricate processes involved in transforming raw wood into valuable construction material.
