Timber
Timber is a term used to describe wood throughout its processing from the time it is planned for use in industrial products to the time it is used as a structural material or in other industrial product, such as wood pulp for paper production. In the U.K. and Australia, "timber" is also the term for the sawed wood product (boards), whereas in the U.S., this is most often referred to as "lumber".
The shout ''TIMBER!'' is also used as a warning call when a tree is cut down. It is used to warn others working in the same area that a tree is going to fall down and that they should take care to get out of the way of its path. People may also use the term in this way to refer to other objects that fall.

The meaning of ''Baltic''
This article's usage of ''Baltic'' seems somewhat confusing. It's surprising to see Norway mentioned as a ''"Baltic"'' country, and one can further suspect that Finland and Sweden, and maybe even Russia, are thought of as historically important producers of timber for Great Britain. Maybe Northern Europe should be read in most places where no stands ''the Baltic?''

Timber Slide
A timber slide is a device for moving timber past rapids and waterfalls. Their use in Canada was widespread in the 18th and 19th century timber trade. In this time cut timber would be floated down rivers in large timber rafts from logging camps to ports such as Montreal and Saint John, New Brunswick. Rapids and waterfalls would, however, damage the wood and could potentially cause log jams. Thus at these locations timber slides were constructed. These were thin water filled chutes that would run parallel to the river. They would usually only be wide enough for a single log and one at a time the logs would be directed down it. The idea is attributed to Ruggles Wright who introduced the first one not far from what is today Ottawa. Later the slides could often be up to a kilometer in length. They were most commonly found on the Ottawa River system.
In some areas the timber slide became a noted tourist attraction. The most noatble being that by the Chaudiere Falls in what is now Ottawa. Even the Prince of Wales, who would later become King Edward VII took a thrilling ride down the 1.2 km chute. Timber slides disappeared after the construction of canal networks and the decline of the timber trade. They were almost all out of service by the First World War.

Portland Timbers
The Portland Timbers are Portland, Oregon's entry in the USL First Division, the second tier of professional soccer in the United States. The club was formed in 2001, but took the name of the franchise that existed in the defunct North American Soccer League in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their jerseys are green and white. The team's mascot is a Sasquatch but the cheerleader is a grizzly lumberjack named Timber Jim (aka: Jim Serrill).
The Record
Through the 2003 season, the Timbers compiled an inconsistent record, qualifying for league playoffs two out of the three years. They have, however, established themselves as one of the best-drawing teams in the A-league, averaging attendance above 5,000 in each of their four years of existence.
In the 2004 season, they finished first in the Western Conference, with a record of 18 wins, 7 losses, and 3 ties. However, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by their long-standing rival, the Seattle Sounders.
The Fans
The club established a solid following of fans who have imported various cheers and traditions from overseas fan groups into Portland's unique brand of celebration and merrymaking. This is an excellent example of cultural appropriation. The Timbers' hardcore fans are known as the Timbers Army. The lead fan is *http://www.timberjim.com Timber Jim, a wild man who wields a live chainsaw around the field, cutting off a slab of a log each time the team scores. Timber Jim is often seen running and climbing around PGE Park during the games.

Timber Treatment
Timber treatment and lumber preservation in forestry describes the intensive treatment of timber with chemical agents to increase its durability and ability to be used in an otherwise inappropriate situation like inground use. Unfortunately, many of the timber treatments have proven to be extremely hazardous both to the workers and the environment; as a result many treatment centres have been forced to close and undertake massive environmental restoration and remediation. With many of the chemicals having a long period through which they are highly dangerous, the legacy of the chemical cocktails can probably never be totally eliminated.

Timber Framing
Timber framing is the modern term for the traditional ''half-timbered construction'' in which timber provides a visible skeletal frame that supports the whole building. The terms are in fact interchangeable.
The structure
The Main structure
) upper storeys of an English half-timbered village rowhouse, the jetties plainly visible]]
By tradition, the timbers, with their riven side facing out, were morticed and pegged together, often receiving triangulated bracing to reinforce other members of the structure.
The spaces between the timber frames were then infilled with wattle-and-daub, brick or rubble, with plastered faces on the exterior and interior which were often “ceiled” with wainscoting for insulation and warmth.
This method of infilling the spaces created the half-timbered style, with the timbers of the frame being visible both inside and outside the building.
Jetties
Where the houseowner could afford it the more expensive technique of jettying was incorporated in the construction of the house.
A ''jetty'' is an upper floor that depends on a cantilever system in which a horizontal beam, the jetty bressummer, on which the wall above rests, projects forward beyond the floor below.
The vertical timbers
The vertical timbers include:
posts (main supports at corners and other major uprights),
studs (subsidiary upright limbs in framed walls).
The horizontal timbers
The horizontal timbers include:
sill-beams (also called ground-sills or sole-pieces, at the bottom of a wall into which posts and studs are fitted using tenons),
noggin-pieces (the horizontal timbers forming the tops and bottoms of the frames of infill-panels),
wall-plates (at the top of timber-framed walls that support the trusses and joists of the roof).
It is when ''jettying'' is included, however, that by far the greatest number of horizontal elements are present:
