I am trying to make my own lumber loads for N scale centerbeam flatcars. Can anyone give me links or post here any pictures you have access to of lumber loads or logos for lumber companys that I can use on shrouds. Thanks for any help you can extend.

Look at this model company's (Day for Night) page for Walthers (there is also one for Athearn) - perhaps you can get some ideas from there - maybe even find something you can order, I dunno (they seem to be HO scale only). At least you'll know what lumber companies are out there using lumber wrappers.
I do want to state that the model Canfor "It's True" lumber wrappers do match the CanFor prototype so that bodes well for the company's products...
Thanks, guys. These are helpful, but I could still use more. Any other that anyone can supply would be greatly appreciated.
Have you considered Google images? "lumber company logo" might prove fruitful.

Careful here, not all companies w/ a logo original or tranship lumber (meaning they would use their own branded lumber wrappers) - lots of local lumber yards logo show up on Google when you try, but their logos will never grace a lumber wrapper. I figured the OP could use the list of names provided by that model company, and THEN look up each one to (hopefully) get a nice, clear image of the wrapper (CanFor, for example, comes close, although the prototype lumber images I found were skewed and would need to be straightened via 'shop). I didn't investigate much further since I'm not generating any lumber load wrappers right now, but left the rest of the project as an exercise for the OP.
Actually lots of images of unwrapped lumber piles being handles, more than I expected - stored under shed roofs on concrete floors and/or racks, I guess they hold out fine.
Here are some pictures that I took at a local rail yard. I have resized and trimmed them using PowerPoint and used them to wrap a wood block for bulkhead flat cars. They are HO but you can resize appropriately for your N scale. Just assume lumber sizes [e.g. 8ft, 12ft, 16ft etc] for the packages in the image. I have some others if you find these useful.
