timber/lumber

In the US and Canada, timber is typically used to collectively refer to trees—or the wood of such trees—that have yet to be cut or processed, while lumber typically refers to wood that has been processed as a building material (boards and planks). Elsewhere, especially in the UK, the word timber is used to mean the same thing as lumber.

(harvested) wood

Surely not 'lumber', as the context clearly is about harvested wood, which is not yet processed. Maybe 'harvested timber', but in this case not just 'timber', becasue there is also such as thing as 'standing timber'.
