Timber is wood from trees and, for the wood to be used as anything more than kindling, the tree that provides the timber needs to be fairly large and mature. For this to happen, a seed had to have been planted some time ago (either naturally or by man). The seed had to have had the opportunity to germinate and grow into a seedling before continuing its growth to maturity over many years. During that time, it had to survive diseases, insect attacks, fire, drought and other hazards like high winds or lightning strikes. Until, eventually, people come and fell the tree to send it to a saw mill where it will be cut into timber and/or lumber with smaller pieces maybe becoming logs for firewood.
Back in time when natural forests were abundant, logging and timber production only required men and something as simple as an ax to cut down the trees. Tools improved and new machineries were invented so that land could be cleared of all its trees more quickly and at greater profit. Consequently, the number of available trees decreased.
