Macquarie Dictionary (Australian) has 10 definitions of 'timber' ... chose the
most appropriate for use in this situation.

"Unprocessed wood"? What does that mean? Trees or parts of trees cut down ...
with nothing else done to them?
Around we go...
Do you have a better definition that suits this application?
