Timber in Washington is mostly found in Maple Valley.
Timber is just another name for wood, In practice wood in its rough form is usually refered to as timber, tree trunks unprocessed are probably timber in it's purest form. In a house unfinished wood ( generally found in the roof and beneath the floor) is referred to as timber e.g. roof timbers or floor timbers/joists. Timber which has been planed (smoothed) and finished off e.g. skirting boards and window sills are referred to as 'joinery' grade or finished, they are still however timber and the difference is a discriptive reference rather than a physical difference.

Timber framed structures are buildings that use vertical timber posts and horizontal timber beams, typically larger than 4 inches by 4 inches, with sloping wood beams to form the structural skeleton of the building. Typical beam sizes are 8x8 posts, 8x10 girts, 6x8 purlins, 6x8 joints, 4x6 braces, etc. Although any of the beams can range in size from 4x4 to 10x24 or larger. Timber frame structures are often enclosed with super insulating pre-stressed panels called SIP's (Structural Insulating Panels). Windows and doors are cut into the SIPS, and a house, barn, church or commercial building is formed. You can find out more by viewing the related links.
