Examples of timber in the following topics:

• Norse Timber Architecture in the Early European Middle Ages

  • Timber architecture can be used to describe a period of medieval art in which two distinctive wood building traditions found their confluence in Norwegian architecture.
  • As political power in Norway was consolidated and had to contend with external threats, larger and more durable structures than the timber examples were built in accordance with military technology at the time.

  • Timber was the chief building material in Han Dynasty architecture, used for grand palace halls, multi-story towers, multi-story residential halls, and humble abodes.
  • It is not known for certain whether or not miniature ceramic models of residential towers and watchtowers found in Han Dynasty tombs are completely faithful representations of such timber towers; nevertheless, they reveal vital clues about lost timber architecture.
  • Perhaps the most direct pieces of evidence to suggest that miniature ceramic tower models are faithful representations of real-life Han timber towers are the tile patterns.

• Recoverable Reserves

  • Natural reserves supplied by nature, such as ore deposits, mineral deposits, oil reserves, gas deposits, and timber stands, are natural resources or wasting assets.
  • Businesses that are involved in the recovery of natural resources, such as mining, growing timber, and extracting petroleum will incur costs related to the resource recovery.
  • These costs are reported on the balance sheet and assigned to the asset in question, such as "timber stands" or "oil reserves. " They are reported at their total cost, less accumulated depletion.

• Architecture of the Early Dynastic Period

  • One of the most important indigenous woodworking techniques was the fixed mortise and tenon joint, where xed tenon was made by shaping the end of one timber to fit into a mortise (or hole) that is cut into a second timber.

• Habitat Loss and Sustainability

  • The forests are being removed for their timber, and to clear space for plantations of palm oil, an oil used in Europe for many items including food products, cosmetics, and biodiesel.
  • In the humid tropics where forest loss is primarily from timber extraction, 272,000 km2 was lost out of a global total of 11,564,000 km2 (or 2.4 percent).
