<upd_refs>Genius WaEi and Shogakukan both say it simply means "material", and that's clearly what it means in 
examples such as the following:
.
ALC:
1) 材質の幅広い選択肢 wide choice of materials
2) 材質の適合性 material compatibility
3) ～と同じ材質で作られる be made of the same material as
4) ...構造、材質、使用状況等 these products' structure, material, and usage, etc.
5) 「Youホルダーには材質が金属と樹脂の2種類あります。
"The "You Holder" is available in two types of material: metal and plastic.
6) 「まず私の会社で注文を受けて、看板のデザインや材質を決めます。
"First of all, we receive an order and decide on an idea for the design and materials of the sign.
7) この材質は何ですか？What is this made of?
Other source:
8) 似たようなものであれば、材質や形等が少し違っても問題ありません。
[My translation: As long as it's a similar sort of item, we don't mind if the material and the shape 
are a little bit different.]</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>Interesting that you got rid of the "lumber" part of the 
definition. One source I saw had
１ 木材の性質。「―の堅い木」
２ 材料としての性質。「―のいい毛布」
and Kojien has something similar.
I don't know of that usage from personal experience, though.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>It was only in a couple of the kokugos, and I got the impression it was an original nuance that now no longer applied. I toyed with keeping it as another sense with an "original meaning" note.</upd_detl>
