Lumber

Processed timber boards produced by subjecting Small Logs to advanced cutting, yielding flat, uniform planks suitable for precision construction. Lumber is the workhorse wood of Pokopia's mid-to-late game, appearing in a vast array of furniture, outdoor, and utility recipes where raw logs and branches would be too crude for the construction quality required. The shift from Small Log to Lumber as a primary wood source is one of the game's clearest indicators of island progression — a transition from improvised resourcefulness to methodical, organized building.

Lumber production requires both the raw logs (from Cut) and the processing infrastructure unlocked through Scyther's higher friendship levels. Players who establish a consistent processing pipeline early will find the mid-game crafting catalog opens considerably faster than those who try to use raw logs for everything until they hit a wall. Virtually every major furniture category — tables, chairs, beds, storage, outdoor structures, building components — has Lumber as a primary or secondary ingredient in its core recipe.
