Cornwall (1867–1950) began publishing The Timberman in 1899 as "a journal devoted to the lumber interests of Oregon." He produced an illustrated monthly magazine covering all aspects of the timber industry, including logging operations, forestry practices, transportation, lumber operation, and wood products manufacture. The name became The Timberman in 1904, and geographical focus expanded to the Pacific Northwest. Upon Cornwall's death in 1950, his son, George F. Cornwall, and long-time staff member, Edgar P. Hoerner, became co-publishers. In 1955, Miller Freeman Publications acquired an interest in the magazine. However, The Timberman remained unchanged in scope and content until 1957, when Miller Freeman purchased the remaining shares and directed that The Timberman specialize in woods management, logging, forestry, and transportation. In 1962, The Timberman was combined with The Lumberman and Woods Industries to form Forest Industries.
