wood beam
Heavy horizontal support
A wood beam is a long, sturdy piece of timber used as a structural support in construction.
Beams bear weight horizontally, spanning gaps between walls or posts to support floors, ceilings, and roofs: The old barn's wood beams were hand-hewn from oak.
Exposed wood beams are often featured in rustic or traditional architecture for aesthetic appeal.
