Logs are large, cylindrical pieces of wood that are typically cut from trees. They are used in various applications, including construction, furniture making, and as a source of fuel. The size and type of log can vary depending on the species of tree and the intended use. Common types of logs include pine, oak, and maple. Logs can be processed into lumber, which is wood that has been sawn into specific dimensions for building purposes. They can also be used in their natural state for landscaping, creating rustic furniture, or as part of outdoor structures like log cabins. Proper storage and treatment are essential to prevent decay and insect damage.
