wooden frame

Lumber support structure

A wooden frame is a structural or supportive border made of wood.

The term applies broadly: a wooden frame holds a painting or photograph, supports a building under construction, or forms the skeleton of furniture.

The old photograph hung in a simple wooden frame.

The phrase is descriptive rather than technical—any frame made of wood qualifies.
