In forestry, a "log" is a section cut from a felled tree of a length and diameter ready to be milled into usable timber. The term "Raw Logs" is a commercial one regarding the sale of large scale logs by the shipload as a raw material rather than milled or manufactured timber.

As the GDT is Canadian, it is probably a good place to start. I suspect that "grumette" is just a smaller "grume". The GDT does not have an entry for "grumette", but it has a number of entries for "grume". A "grume" seems to be a raw untreated, unworked log.
There are likely to be reliable Canadian FR/EN sites with both terms out there somewhere on the WWW.
