Eventually the town will build a carpenter who will build the frames for the town (and trade them as well), just make sure to give 'm plenty of wood (I gave 'm all 3 to be sure that they would use it).
In any case give it a few in-game days for them to realise that they need to make 'm themselves :)
Timber Frames can be finished with any wood stain or urethane.
Timber Frames can be used for almost any type of building - Houses, hotels, pavilions, churches, welcome centers, bus shelters, barns, dining halls.
Timber frames, daub & wattle walls, with timber shingles for roofing.
Vermont Timber Works has an extensive web site on timber frames and post & beam construction.
Black tar was originally used to preserve the timber.
There is a timber mod for multiplayer that the owner has to put on, so yes it does work if you're the owner.

Poor Tudor houses were typically made of timber frames filled with wattle and daub. The timber frames provided structural support, while the wattle and daub consisted of a lattice of wooden strips covered with a mixture of mud, clay, and straw. This construction method was affordable and readily available to poorer families.
when the pile of wood shows up over timber smurf's hut, collect it. :)
Most probably did. Some were built of stone, without framing, and some were log cabins. Medieval wattle and daub houses had timber frames, as did the other half timbered houses, cruck houses, and so on. There were brick houses in the Middle Ages, but I don't know anything about how they were built.
You tap on it then choose 'Customise Hut' and choose what one you want. You have to either buy the timber or earn it from timber smurfs workshop.
I would suggest the Treecapitator or Timber mod.
