RFV
"A seller or purveyor of fine woods." May be a dictionary-only word. Equinox ◑ 18:43, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * OED has "rare a timber-merchant.", but quotes what looks like a book about words. However, a second definition (A musician or leader of a band) and a spurious etymology has now also been added. They look wrong. SemperBlotto 08:27, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * RFVing that second sense too . Removed incorrect ety. Equinox ◑ 11:39, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've now determined that he got the second sense from a word quizbook in the format "a barber is 1. a hairdresser, 2. a kind of shirt, 3. a breed of dog", i.e. it was deliberately false in the book. Removed. Equinox ◑ 18:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
