Timber bole
A guide to the use of urban timber (FB 50) was written by Geoff Cooper and published by BRE on 31 July 2012. The guide defines timber ‘bole’ as: 'A term used to describe the trunk after felling and branch removal.'
However, Groynes in coastal engineering (CIRIA C793), published by CIRIA in 2020, defines a bole as: ‘The stem, or trunk of a tree when over 200 mm diameter.’
