wooden beam
Load-bearing timber
A wooden beam is a long, thick piece of timber used as a structural support in buildings, bridges, or other constructions.
Beams bear weight horizontally, spanning openings or supporting floors and roofs: The old barn's wooden beams were hand-hewn from oak.
Exposed wooden beams are often featured in rustic or traditional architecture.
