The Sawmills and Wood Preservation Industry in the United States comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following:

1. Sawing dimension lumber, boards, beams, timber, poles, ties, shingles, shakes, siding, and wood chips from logs or bolts
2. Sawing round wood poles, pilings, and posts and treating them with preservatives
3. Treating wood sawed, planed, or shaped in other establishments with creosote or other preservatives to prevent decay and to protect against fire and insects.

Sawmills may plane the rough lumber that they make with a planing machine to achieve smoothness and uniformity of size. The US Sawmilling and Wood Preservation industry acquires its key raw materials (i.e. sawlogs and bolts) from logging companies and other ingredients such as resins and other chemicals from specialist manufacturers or wholesalers. These raw materials are combined to produce a range of sawn hardwood and softwood that is then sold to downstream wood product manufacturers (such as veneer, plywood and engineered wood product manufacturers) as well as the millwork industry. The finished wood products may also be sold to lumber wholesalers.
