well there are different ways to do it but they are basically the same 1)the wood is debarked and then pulped 2)the pulp is then mixed with water (this is where some processes differ by the size the wood is pulped from large pulp for natural looking paper to fine pulp for printing paper) 3)the soaked pulp is then put on a conveyor that brings it through a heated press that presses all the water out and then it is put on huge rolls (can easily be 12 feet wide and 3-4 feet thick) and the paper is then sold to manufacturers that use the paper to make their product.
