Timber and wood are related but not exactly the same.
Wood is a general term used to describe the hard, fibrous substance that makes up the stems, branches, and roots of trees and other woody plants.
It is the primary raw material derived from trees and has various uses in construction, furniture manufacturing, paper production, and many other industries.
Timber, on the other hand, refers specifically to wood that has been harvested from trees and processed for use in construction or other structural applications.
Timber is typically sawn, milled, or otherwise processed into standardized sizes and shapes suitable for building purposes. It is often used for structural elements like beams, columns, and lumber for framing buildings.
In simpler terms, all timber is wood, but not all wood is considered timber. Timber specifically refers to wood that has been processed and prepared for construction.
