RE: Base game vs Timber, new players

ditto that.. the base game is a great one to learn on and plenty of fun!

That said, TP does streamline the writing of the rules a little bit (and brings one of the previously-scenario-specific-and-often-mis-understood optional rules and make it part of every game). If you can't find LNOE easily enough, go for TP and just train yourself to hold back on the advanced elements longer.
