Timber represents wood which is appropriate for carpentry, building and for various engineering purposes. Timber is a fibrous, hard substance which forms a most part of the trunk and branches of a tree. Timber was used as building material even since ancient days. Many prehistoric temples, palaces and bridges which are built with timber exist even now.
