     Wood a material of plant origin characterised

    by a hard fibrous structure


     composed mainly of cellulose,
    hemicellulose, and lignin.
     The high content (22-29%) of lignin .

    CLASSIFICATION OF WOOD
     Seasoning of wood
     seasoning is the controlled process of reducing the moisture
    content of the timber so that it is suitable for the environment
    and intended use. Removal of the moisture from wet or green
    wood, in other words.

    SEASONING OF WOOD
     Properties of wood
     The oldest material used by humans for
    construction, after stone. Despite its
    complex chemical nature,
     wood has excellent properties.

    Uses and applications of wood
     Dead Bark

     Dead bark or outer bark is a layer of dead tissue which is a


    protection for the trunk and branches.
     It also helps to reduce water loss from the living cells of the
    tree. Some trees shed their dead bark each year while on
    others dead bark is reduced only by the weathering processes.

    DEAD BARK
     Cambium Layer

     The Cambium layer is the layer of thin cells, invisible to the


    naked eye positioned inside the live bark. This layer of cells
    facilitates all growth in the thickness of the tree trunk. The
    Cambium grows wood cells on the inside and live barks cells
    on the outside.

    CAMBIUM LAYER
    CROSS SECTION OF WOOD
     Sapwood

     Sapwood is the new wood under the Cambium layer. It is often


    lighter in colour than true wood or heart wood and it conducts
    water and mineral salts from the root system of the tree to the
    leaves.

    SAPWOOD
     Veneer is a thin decorative layer applied to cheaper wood
    made by turning a log against a blade, much like peeling an
    apple. Using veneer means you can get an attractive wooden
    finish at much lower cost than by using a solid piece of
    expensive wood

    VENEER
     Heart wood or truewood is made up of cells which are
    actually dead. It provides the strength necessary to
    support the tree.
     Heartwood is formed by the blockage of the channels
    which conduct food materials.
     Blockage occurs as stored food materials are
    converted into tannis, resins and other related
    substances.
     Heartwood is much more durable than sapwood.

    HEARTWOOD
     The pith is at the centre of the tree and is a
    soft, pulpy zone which is usually about one
    centimetre in diameter.
     The Pith is sometimes called the medulla,
    giving its name medullary rays.

    THE PITH
    CROSS SECTION OF TREE
     . Plywood is made by taking layers of wood (or plies) and
    gluing them together with an outer coating of veneer. Typically
    each ply is placed at 90 degrees to the one underneath so the
    grains alternate. That means a piece of plywood is usually
    much stronger than a piece of the natural wood from which it's
    made

    PLYWOOD
     Laminated wood is a weaker kind of plywood in which the
    grain of each layer runs in the same direction. Particle board
    (often called chipboard) is made by taking the waste chips,
    flakes, and sawdust from a mill and forcing it under high
    pressure, with glue, in a mold so it sticks together to make
    planks and panels. Low-cost and self-assembly furniture is
    often made this way

    LAMINATED WOOD AND PARTICLE


    BOARD
     . Fiber-board is similar, but made with wood-pulp fibers instead
    of wood chips and sawdust. Hardboard is a thin sheet of wood
    made from wood fibers in much the same way
