From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Wood is a hard, fibrous tissue found in many plants. It has been used for centuries for both fuel and as a construction material for several types of living areas such as houses. It is an organic material, a natural composite of cellulose fibers (which are strong in tension) embedded in a matrix of lignin which resists compression. In the strict sense wood is produced as secondary xylem in the stems of trees (and other woody plants). In a living tree it transfers water and nutrients to the leaves and other growing tissues, and has a support function, enabling woody plants to reach large sizes or to stand up for themselves. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, or wood chips or fiber. People have used wood for millennia for many purposes, primarily as a fuel or as a construction material for making houses, tools, weapons, furniture, packaging, artworks, and paper. Wood can be dated by carbon dating and in some species by dendrochronology to make inferences about when a wooden object was created. The year-to-year variation in tree-ring widths and isotopic abundances gives clues to the prevailing climate at that time. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by mel - Tue Feb 5 03:06:42 2008 Whats a way to treat wood to preserve it and to kill possible bugs? Q. I'm looking to treat a piece of wood I found in the woods. Its the bark of a bug eaten tree and I want to kill the bugs and treat the wood to preserve it. Whats the best way to do this? Asked by BetterRedThanDead - Sun Sep 9 21:31:37 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you really want to presserve the wood... Try to treat it with "SOLIGNUM" as far away from your home. The risk of bringing in the bugs from the bark may spread to your home. After that you can varnish the wood this will double protect and kills the bug that is left... but still if its not very important just leave it be or burn it to prevent spread.

Q. I want to chop all the excess wood and sticks I have in my backyard and use it for compost, but I have no wood chipper. Is there a way I can have someone do this for me for cheap? Asked by BUNguyenI - Fri May 23 21:25:08 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. perhaps you could ask a neighbor, friend or relative if they have one you could borrow or rent for a small fee or a favor in return perhaps offer to shred some of their branches while your doing yours or something. the other alternative is to hire one from a rental company but that can get pricey. failing that you could chop branches into small pieces which i had to do before i was given a shredder. hope this helps !!
