What is green timber?

Green timber refers to freshly cut wood that has not been dried or seasoned, retaining a high moisture content. This type of timber is often used in construction and woodworking but can be prone to issues like warping, splitting, and shrinkage as it dries. Its benefits include being easier to work with and more cost-effective compared to seasoned wood. However, proper handling and treatment are necessary to mitigate potential drawbacks.
