Wooden Beam

Wooden Beams are a decorative item that can be placed like a wall (although it appears they cannot currently be used in NPC housing). They are found in abandoned mine shafts with Planked Walls. Unlike most walls, wooden beams can be used to hold torches, however they cannot be placed behind other objects (i.e tables or bricks). They can only be built vertically, and are removed with an axe.

Wooden Beams can be placed behind doors, making them one-way only, to keep out Zombies during Blood Moons. Keep in mind that the doors themselves can still be broken down by some enemies, perhaps once hard mode has been triggered.
