To throw large stones and break down castle walls.
wood
trebuchets were made for a siege. They were made near forests as there would be a large supply of wood. The trebuchets would not be made at their castle as their soldiers would be tired of pushing the trebuchet to the enemies castle and by the time they would get to their enemies castle they would be too tired to fight and would most likely lose the battle.
Trebuchets were weapons of destruction. They were made from wood because it was easier to transport them, and because there was a plentiful supply of wood to make them out of. Stone was too heavy to use for this weapon, because it would not be able to throw things far enough for its initial purpose.
Yes they do.
They work as a catapult.

The oldest documentation of traction trebuchets date back to China in the 4th century BC. The first record of counterweight trebuchets comes from an Islamic scholar in 1187 AD.
Trebuchets are typically made from hardwoods such as oak or maple due to their strength and durability. Some builders may also use softer woods like pine for less critical components to reduce weight. The choice of wood can affect the trebuchet's performance, with denser woods providing better stability and resilience during operation. Ultimately, the selection depends on the intended use and the builder's resources.
trebuchets originated in china around 300 BC and was used all the way through the 14 century until eventually gunpowder made it obsolete.
