I have nbo more context. It from minutes of a general meeting of co-owners of a residence in mountains in Switzerland. All I can find is something related to wood, but I don't think it can be that here as it is concerning repairs. I'm wondering whether "cylinders" would work.

logs

Explanation:
Je pense qu'il doit s'agir d'une maison en rondins, qui prend aussi le nom de "fuste" en français.
C'est ce qu'on appelle "a log cabin" en anglais

veneer bolts/billets

Explanation:
I found "veneer bolt", "peeler block", and veneer block" in the IATE.

In the case where it might be wood : "round billet of wood" also from the IATE.
