Remanufactured Timber
Remanufactured Lumber refers to secondary or tertiary processing/cutting of previously milled lumber. The term specifically refers to lumber cut for industrial or wood packaging use. Lumber is cut by ripsaw or resaw to create dimensions that are not usually processed by a primary sawmill.
Resawing is the process of splitting 1 inch through 12 inch hardwood or softwood lumber into two or more thinner pieces of full length boards. For example, splitting a ten foot 2×4 into two ten foot 1x4s is considered resawing.
In addition to resawing lumber, remanufactured lumber can be ripped on a ripsaw using single or multiple blades. Ripping is the process of splitting 1″ through 12″ hardwood or softwood lumber into two or more narrower pieces of full length boards. For example, splitting a ten foot 2×4 into two ten foot 2x2s is considered ripping
