The wood material was obtained from the floorboards, window frames, cabinets, cripple studs, ceiling boards, and joists. The species were identified as Pinus spp. for the cabinet, window frame, and cripple stud, Abies spp. for the floorboards, Populus spp. for the ceiling boards, and Quercus spp. for the joist. The macroscopic observation revealed multiple types of degradation caused by weathering, fungi, and insect attacks. The cripple studs made of pine and the floorboards made of fir had become completely unusable due to insect damage. Relatively less biological damage was observed on the cabinet made of pine wood and the ceiling boards made of poplar wood.en10.15376/biores.19.1.872-885info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHistorical timberWood anatomyWood identificationKonuralp houseBiodegradationTimberIdentificationConservationMembersExampleChurchArticle1918728852-s2.0-85179322402WOS:001125382900006Q3N/A
