wooden planks

Flat sawn timber

Wooden planks are flat, elongated pieces of lumber cut from logs, typically thicker than boards.

They serve as basic building materials for floors, decks, fences, and scaffolding: The dock's wooden planks creaked underfoot.

In exercise, the plank is a core-strengthening position where the body forms a rigid board.

To walk the plank is the pirate punishment of being forced off a ship to drown.
