How it's used
Refers specifically to a flat, rigid piece of timber used for construction or furniture. While it can describe a raw material, it is also frequently used to describe makeshift surfaces like a shelf or a temporary path. It carries a sense of being a simple, functional object rather than a refined piece of wood.
