When workmen began cutting through a horizontal wooden beam that ran across the outside wall of the house, the building started to fall in.

Usually the chair was fastened to a long wooden beam fixed as a seesaw on the edge of a pond or river.

On the ground floor of the right wing, a restaurant was put in, with wooden beam ceiling and a spacious cloakroom.

Its wooden beam was too rotten to be preserved and a replacement was made.

A wooden beam had been suspended between two trestles at right-angles across the sidewalk.
