I am engaged in an off-and-on project to identify and document the occupations that a self-sufficient community would need to survive without much contact from the outside world and without our modern reliance on petroleum- I'm thinking the period from 1890 to 1920.
I've obtained several lists of occupations from the web, and I have classified them into broad categories and then into specific functions within each broad category.
This is what I have for the lumber industry:
Does anyone know of any other occupations connected to the lumber industry?

This is what I have for the lumber industry:
lumber | jack | lumberjack |
lumber | splitter | someone who splits timber either by hand or with a machine |
lumber | top sawyer topman | upper man in a saw pit |
lumber | trepanger | one who used a circular saw to cut timber |
Does anyone know of any other occupations connected to the lumber industry?
