timber

Timber is the processed or raw wood used for construction, furniture, and other products. It comes from trees, which are harvested, cut into manageable pieces, and often shaped or treated to improve strength and durability. Timber can be classified as softwood or hardwood, depending on the type of tree it comes from. It is valued for its natural strength, workability, and aesthetic appeal. Properly sourced and maintained timber is sustainable and widely used in building homes, furniture manufacturing, and various crafts, making it an essential and versatile material in many industries.
