Puulä

Puulä is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily in the context of carpentry and construction. The most common meaning is a type of wooden peg or dowel used to join pieces of wood together. These pegs are often inserted into pre-drilled holes. Puulä can be made from various types of wood, depending on the application and desired strength. They are a traditional method of fastening and can provide a strong and aesthetically pleasing joint when done correctly.

In some contexts, puulä might also be used to describe a small wooden block or piece of timber used for support or bracing. This could be a temporary element during construction or a permanent part of a larger structure. The specific size and shape would vary greatly depending on its intended function.

The origin of the word puulä is likely related to Finnish or Estonian terms for wood, reflecting the material's primary use. The exact etymology can be complex and may vary by region. While the term is not universally common, it is recognized within certain trades and communities where traditional woodworking techniques are practiced.
