Lumber Recovery Efficiency among Selected Sawmills in Akure, Nigeria

This study was carried out to investigate the efficiency of lumber recovery among selected sawmills in Akure metropolis. Measurements were carried out before and after log conversion to estimate the volume of sawn timber and wood residues generated from the selected sawmills. The outcome of the rese...
