After felling trees, the branches are removed and the trunk is cut into logs. Conversion is the process of cutting and sawing logs into suitable sections of timber. In earlier days, it was done manually using saws. Now-a-days, cutting is done by band and circular saws run by machines.
Sawing is done by four methods, viz., ordinary sawing, quarter sawing, tangential sawing, or radial sawing.
