Help with tiling to wood

[access]

I have built a shower cubicle and the frame that the shower door fits in to is made of wood and the other 3 walls are plastered walls with the floor being concrete and a small wet room drain fitted. The frame is about 120mm wide on all four sides of the shower door with the bottom also forming a barrier to stop the water from the shower floor running out of the cubicle. the timber used is solid 120mm x 50mm.
What I wanted advice on was what sort of adhesive to use to tile to the wooden frame and any preparation I should do? Most adhesives that I see for use on wood are for floor tiles, could that still be used for wall tiles ?

Get hold of a tanking kit - this is basically a waterproof barrier kit. Bal or Dunlop do one. Give the walls and floor a coat and then tile on to that.

I am coating the walls and floor in a liquid membrane but I am worried about tiling to the wooden frame even though it will be sealed, it would seem that I need a flexible wall tile adhesive and that is something I have never seen ?

If you tank over the timber you should be ok with this http://www.bal-adhesives.co.uk/bal/bal_products/white_star.asp

As Gcol says BAL whitestar will be fine onto a tanked surface if you want readymixed, mosaicfix if you want powdered.

I am trying to finish off a tiling job in our bathroom and don't really know how best to do it. The tricky bit ( in my mind) is the stud wall reveal. The tiles cover the face of the stud wall (which is plasterboard) but I am not sure how to get around the edge of the timber stud. Can I tile straight on to the cls timber? Or would I have to plasterboard the reveal and try to cut a tile to cover the depth of the board? Hope this makes sense?! Any help would be great.
