Explanation:
Stock is the round (end view) log (kapad, kvistad del av trästam), block is the log after sawing four sides (the rounded boards) to create a square (ish) log that can be sawn into lumber.

This is from my analogue Skogsordlista...

Asker: I don't suppose you have the skogordslista online any where. So "stock" = "stock" in English?
