Se below.

Depending on where in the production line the timber is:
Standing timber for the raw material still on the root.
Pulp material for the leftovers that is going mostly to the paper and press-board industry.
Plank timber for the long, straight stems intended for sawing.
Board timber for knifing out sheets.
The list is long, but the overall denomination I know of is simply 'raw timber material'.
Note from asker:
Hi Lars, you are amazing. Such a long list! Thanks.

neutral Roald Toskedal : Ammm, wouldn't know about the 'product' - that would've been appropriate when speaking of the wares delivered from a sawmill, but as materials for a building I'd leave out the 'product.
