Lumber and Timber is the same.

Just depends on the region:

Timber for UK and Australia

Lumber for USA.

That simple!

Correct, it sounds really weird [to us] when on some tv program it is reported that ' he picked up a lump of 2 by 4 and proceeded to belt the crap out of him with it'...over here it would be 'he belted the crap out of him with a lump of 4 be 2'.

@hardrider I suppose you have good old four by two as we do in England. (not two by four)

Depends on what part of the world you are in, here in Australia that would be correct grammar, ie: logs do get cut into timber, we go to a hardware shop and buy timber to build with etc etc.

Lumber is a yank term.

Lumber, not timber



[o0lBobl0o]

The title is a little deceptive. Timber into logs, logs into lumber. logs into timber is going backward. Unless your rolling the logs down a hill into the woods, then it would be logs into timber.
