there are lots of techniques by which we can improve the life of a timber like seasoning of timber,by applying different types preservatives coat before it is used.
As fresh timber which is obtained from trees contains about 30 to 40 % sap or moisture. This sap is very harmful for the life of a timber. Therefore, it is necessary to remove that sap by applying some special methods. All those methods which are used for removing the sap from timber are collectively termed as seasoning of timber. Types of Timber Seasoning: The main types of timber seasoning are as under.

I actually asked this same question when I first started a DIY project and bought supplies from a timber yard in Burwood. The process is pretty straightforward but kind of interesting. From what I learned, timber usually starts at the sawmill, where logs are cut down into usable sizes like planks, beams, or sheets. Once it’s processed, the timber is stacked and loaded onto trucks—big flatbeds or container trucks, depending on the quantity. For longer distances or large exports, it sometimes goes by train or even ship before reaching local yards. When I visited the timber yard, they explained that the wood is carefully strapped and covered to keep it safe from weather damage during transport. Once it arrives at the yard, it’s unloaded, sorted by type and size, and then stored properly so it stays in good condition until customers like me buy it. So in short, it goes from forest → sawmill → transport → timber yard Burwood → into the hands of builders or DIY folks. Pretty cool to know the journey of the wood before it becomes furniture, flooring, or decks.
