Timber
The rapid development of science and technology, the appearance of new, varied materials (including polymers) have not reduced the industrial use of timber. Careful management of forests could assure humanity of opportunity to benefit from these values more or less in perpetuity. Timber, the most widespread construction material, has become a universal material of tremendous economic importance. Large quantities of timber are still used for telegraph posts, railway sleepers, props for mines. Wood is widely used in finishing the interiors of homes, vessels, furniture, sports gear, and musical instruments. Timber is the raw material for pulp out of which paper, paperboard, smokeless powder, spirits, synthetic fabric and yeast are made. One should not forget about such kind of forest utilization as getting oleoresin and processing nonstandard wood and wood waste. Forest-chemical production is widely used now: tars, turpentine, wood charcoal, coniferous extract, coniferous vitamin meal etc.
