When is it advantageous to use sawn timber rather than planed?
Sawn timber is advantageous when a more rustic appearance is desired, as it retains the natural texture and character of the wood. It is often more cost-effective than planed timber and can be used in structural applications where precise dimensions are not critical. Additionally, sawn timber offers better grip for certain applications, such as in construction or outdoor projects, where slip resistance is important.

How is timber different from other wood?
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.
