boards
Flat wooden pieces
Boards are flat, rigid pieces of material—typically wood cut into planks for construction or other purposes: The floor boards creaked underfoot.
Board extends to any flat surface serving a function: a cutting board, a circuit board, a board game's playing surface.
A board is also a group that governs or advises: board of directors, school board.
To tread the boards is to perform on stage, from the wooden planks of theater floors.
In hockey, the boards are the walls surrounding the rink.
