Baulk end is a term used in carpentry to refer to a length of wood or timber that has been cut or shaped to form a solid and stable foundation for other structures. However, depending on the context, there are different synonyms that may be used to refer to the same concept. For example, baulk end may sometimes be referred to as a joist end or beam end when used in the construction of a floor or ceiling. Other synonyms include cantilever end, rafter end, truss end, and gable end, all of which refer to a similar concept of a supporting structure that has been cut, shaped, or anchored to provide a stable base for other elements of a building or structure.
