How to use "Lumber" in context?
Lumber has a long and proud history in the United States. The first lumberjacks may have chopped down trees to make tables, chairs and other needed furniture in the early 19th century. By 1865, American companies were exporting more lumber than any other agricultural product. Today, lumber remains a major agricultural commodity in the United States.
Lumber is a versatile product. It is used to build houses, furniture, decks and other structures. It is also used to make pulp and paper. In fact, one third of the world's paper is made from wood.
Lumber is one of the most common agricultural commodities in the United States.
