I have a wood cutting machine and some wood. Who owns the timber?

Sadly, IP "ownership" and copyright law are vastly more complex than ownership of physical stuff.

Or were you planning to reproduce the (say) Ford Motor Company's trademarked symbol in wood? If so, you're right back in the stinkin' swamp.

What is the wood in your example?

This is like a machine you ask for timber and you get timber but you didn’t need to provide any wood
