Wood
Werkholz , Swiss Werchholz , is a term used until the beginning of the 20th century for the part of the raw wood that is intended for further processing as sawn timber for joineries and construction timber for carpenters .
The term was also used for tools with wooden handles.
In the German dictionary by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, work wood was referred to as "timber, timber and logs [..., as wood] which, because of its straight or crooked growth, its hardness and durability, is useful in some rural and urban equipment" or as wood Carving and thus described for a variety of uses. In contrast, Meyer's Konversations-Lexikon often separated timber from construction timber, sometimes also from timber, when describing the types of wood.
Plant, wood for firing in metallurgy was driving wood or driftwood called and had a fixed length.
Otherwise a distinction was made between timber and firewood , which did not meet the quality requirements.
