Development of sawmill wood manufacture

Wood industry in Jugoslavia was based and developed on sawmill manufacture. Development of sawmill manufacture was not even so that neither today we have an uniform criterion related to development of sawmill manufacture. Fast development of finished manufacture often suppressed development of modern sawmill manufacture. Most of the furniture factories built their cutting out shops and did not show a major interest for specified-purpose production of elements, for a known product in the framework of sawmilI manufacture. Some of the sawmills are still manufacturing classic assortment of boards made from deciduous hardwood to which contributes the difference in prices on the market of sawn timber in our country and in export. Such attitude of element manufacturers influences essentially the price of elements on domestic market. In further development of sawmill production the increase of production could not be expected. Sawmill manufacture in future could be developed through enlarging the assortment of sawn goods and elements and through a rational manufacture of standard logs and round billets.
