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

What's going on? Q. i've been ignoring the wood grain fallings ( looks like brown sand) from my wooden door by simply wiping it off. till recently, i discovered that one portion of my door is hollow. Could I be because of termite attack or the wood is aging? i have got to put a stop to it. Can anyone explain to me what's going on?

Answered by mel - Tue Feb 5 03:06:42 2008 How do I make a tile inlay in a wood tabletop without damaging the wood around it? Q. I am making two end tables. For the top, I want to have a wood border with tile on the inside. How do I apply the grout between the tile and the wood without ruining the wood? Will finishing the wood first protect it from the grout? Won't the wet grout damage the wood, even if it is only on there for a little bit? Also, the base of the top was going to be plywood. Is there a better substitute to put the tile on other than plywood? Asked by Irony Of Poe - Thu Apr 23 23:03:56 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Build your exterior frame and put a piece of plywood under it at the proper depth so the tile will be even with the surface. Sand finish and seal all of the wood surfaces. You don't want any moisture being absorbed by the wood. Now lay and grout your tile. Try not to scratch the wood surface. Apply another coat of finish to the wood after everything else is finished...Best of luck.

Q. The house we are seeking to buy has a walk-out basement, finished by the owner. He used untreated 2x4's where the wall framing contacts the concrete floor. Is the lack of pressure-treated wood a problem? Asked by stevegp - Sun Jan 17 13:59:03 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. if the basement slab was poured over a plastic sheet, and you have no other water problems, it should be OK. The bigger problem may be that the owner may have done other things not to code, such as the electric, plumbing, etc. This also indicates he did the work without a permit, and you may be responsible down the road. You should check with your city or township code enforcement officer. You may be buying a bottomless money pit. Answered by GuitarGeorge - Sun Jan 17 15:08:43 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "wood" |
