chopping off the twigs and branches, cutting into standard lengths and stripping off the bark
Explanation:
Fairly sure about this, I've done it before. The desgalhamento is when a machine is used to "chew" down the sawn off trunk of the tree to remove the flimsy branches and stuff, Trancamento is the idea of cutting or sawing the timber into standard lkebgth logs for transport and the bark is removed as it is not useful anywhere else except as the forest floor to make compost
