GOOD FOR WOOD3  Wood can’t be manufactured synthetically  Wood is rare and precious  Wood is eco friendly Save wood- save earth

GOOD FOR WOOD4 Composition of wood  Wood is composed of minute, hollow fibers  Some wood is composed of short, hollow brick shaped cells  Zone of lighter wood is called sapwood  Zone of darker wood is called heartwood  Through the fibers the tree transports water and nutrients vertically within the tree  Wood is composed of a complex mixture of substances but the main constituent of all wood is a complex sugar called cellulose

GOOD FOR WOOD5 Properties of wood  Wood may be destroyed and damaged by fungi, insects and marine borers  Under proper use conditions, wood can give centuries of good service  Under unfavorable conditions wood can be crushed in powder  Wood is affected by environment factors such as temperature,moisture,winds,salty air, water etc  Wood can be cut,mould,bend,chip,stick etc

GOOD FOR WOOD6 Wood enemies  Water,moisture,wind,salts,chemicals  Wood- inhabiting fungi- feed on living or dead wood and produce spores (microscopic seeds)  Spores can infect moist wood  Fungi need favorable temperature and moisture content  Types of fungi- wood decay fungi sap staining fungi  decay fungi grows in interiors of wood  Fungi break down the cellulose component of wood

GOOD FOR WOOD7 Wood enemies- contd. Wood decay fungi types Brown rots White rots Soft rots Effects of fungi Excessive wood shrinkage Cross grain cracking Powder Chemical stains – chemical changes in wood during processing or seasoning of wood

GOOD FOR WOOD8 Wood enemies contd.- Insects  Termites, carpenter ants and beetles Beetles  Powder post beetles  Anobiid beetles  Bostrichid borers  Carpenter ants  Round headed and flat headed beetles  Marine borers
