According to the industry balance sheet, 98% of the industry's production (sawmills industry: Sector 134) is saws. And the industry also uses saws in its production as an input (gross absorption, 15%). So saws here must not be the cutting tools but lumber products like sawing dimension lumber, boards, beams, timbers, poles, ties, shingles, shakes, siding, and wood chips from logs or bolts (as defined in NAICS). Is this correct?

  Hi Chan, Thank you for catching that the correct description should be Dimension Lumber for the Commodity. We are working on updating our Structural Matrix which will correct the description. I will email you when complete. If you wish to see the fix then you will need to build a new Model using the new Structural Matrix. Thanks!
