There’s a village called Choubin in Neyshabour, which means “made of wood” in Persian.  All buildings in this area including mosque, library, and even a gigantic residence are not only built of pure wood, but also featuring quake-resistant.  Various kinds of timber, such as pine, walnut, and cherry are used and combine in numerous constructions.
