Squares (in timber and industrial wood context) refer to square-cut wood sections that are
processed from logs
into uniform block or beam-like shapes with equal width and thickness on all sides. These
are typically produced
by sawing round logs into straight-edged pieces for easier handling, processing, and
industrial use.

Squares are commonly used in construction, carpentry, furniture manufacturing,
packaging, and structural
applications where stability, uniform dimensions, and strength are required. They can be
further processed into
beams, battens, planks, or engineered wood components.

Available in hardwood or softwood species, squares are valued for their strength, versatility,
and ease of stacking,
storage, and transportation. They serve as a basic raw material in the timber industry for a
wide range of
downstream wood products.
