Request: Wood diagonal rafters (rails with a wood beam texture)

Request Type: General Addition

Try to describe all workarounds and associated issues that make it necessary to add this block in your eyes.
Messing around with the Oldtown style I came across a block suggestion: wood rafters. Despite being canonically almost all stone, Oldtown would feature many wood details such as balconies and extensions. In those cases a block that behaves similar to the horizontal rope or chain but with a wood texture would be super useful as a light support. And I'm sure other builders would came up with other uses to this once it's added. I don't think it would outdate any build, as it does not improves a way of building, bu rather presents an alternative way of detailing.​

Types of evidence to support your request: Historical

Historical Evidence
A common way of supporting roof eaves, wooden balconies and other type of wood structures that protrude from façades is the use of diagonal wood beams embedded into the wall.
