Oh, dude, rough sawn timber is basically wood that's been cut straight from the log using a saw, but it's not been planed or smoothed out all nice and pretty like your grandma's dining table. It's like the lumberjack of the wood world - all rugged and raw, ready to be transformed into something cool... or just left looking like a rustic charm in your backyard.
The powder from wood that has been sawn is called sawdust. It is a byproduct of cutting and shaping wood using saws and is commonly used in various applications such as woodworking, gardening, and animal bedding. Sawdust can also be a potential fire hazard if not properly managed.
