Hello ladies and gentlemen, today, we will be discussing wood magic, or more generally, wood itself.
QUESTION: WHAT IS WOOD?
Wood is a porous, fibrous substance that is commonly found on trees, it is an organic material with cellulose fibers embedded with a matrix of lignin, to resist compression.
Woods main purpose in trees is to act as the body, as well as transporting resources and materials around the organism, with the help of xylem and phloem.
Wood is often covered by a substance known as bark, flaky, hard, plate like objects that protect the wood itself from the harsh world outside.
Wood’s average matter density is roughly 350-400 Kg/m^3
chemicals known as extractives can alter the color of wood, originating from dried sap in the tree.
WOOD USAGES AND PROPERTIES (PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL)
Wood has been used by man for thousands of years, we’ve used it for building, fires, industry, and toymaking, along with much more, even in cooking.
Woods generally soft and easy to carve properties make it very popular as a material for building furniture, weaponry, toys, and other tools and necessities.
Wood, which this most should know, is extremely flammable, thus making it extremely useful for fires, which is critical for any civilization to have in the early stages.
Wood just like other soft, tissue based things, is vulnerable to acids and chemicals, which can damage it to a differing scale depending on how long and what it was exposed too.

WOOD IN CULTURE AND HUMAN SOCIETY
Wood has played a huge role is society, many homes are constructed from it and it is extremely important in fuel as well.
Wood also has played many roles in stories and fiction, such as notable characters like Hashirama senju and pinocchio.
The term “Xylokinesis” is used to describe the abilities of manipulating wood as superpower, which is a reference to Xylem, a substance we talked about earlier, found in trees.
Knocking on wood is a popular phrase claiming that doing so will bring good fortune to the person who inflicted it.
Kodama in japanese folklore are spirits that live in trees, and can curse people who cut the tree they live in down, they are seen as mountain gods, and to make sure no one is cursed, shimenawa rope is used to mark trees with a spirit in them.
The ewoks in star wars warship trees from the forest moon of endor
The yggdrasil (try saying that 5 times in a row) is a tree in norse mythology that is believed where all nine worlds (including ours) and everything else exists around it.
Wood is used in many furniture items, and depending on what the wood is, can affect the price of the product greatly.
example:
a normal oak table wood would be a lot less compared to something like an ebony table (dark wood)
WOODS ROLES IN NATURE
Wood plays a huge role in nature as a food source and shelter for many animals that live in forest areas, Many insects including some larger animals such as woodpecker burrow holes into trees or logs, and eat the wood or have offspring inside, as wood acts as a safe place to raise young.
Wood is also food for decomposers who may eat rotting logs, and small animals and scavengers may lives in tree top canopies above the dangerous ground.
the roots play a vital role in preventing erosion, an event where the ground gradually wears away from water, wind, or other factors, which can prevent mudslides and help keep wildlife stable.
EXTRA WOOD FACTS
Some rare species of trees are able to withstand wildfires using a special coating that is flame retardant
Trees actually cannot die of old age, what kills them is usually things such as natural disasters and insects, which is why some trees can live up to thousands of years in age.
softwood and hardwood describe the leaves, seed types, and structure of trees instead of the actual wood itself.
Trees can emit chemical signals to “talk” to eachother, usually used for warning about pests.
there are around 2,300 thousand species of tree on earth.
As a tree grows, lower branches commonly die, and their bases may become overgrown and enclosed by subsequent layers of wood, forming a type of defect known as a knot.
Heartwood (or duramen[10]) is wood that as a result of a naturally occurring chemical transformation has become more resistant to decay. Heartwood formation is a genetically programmed process that occurs spontaneously. Some uncertainty exists as to whether the wood dies during heartwood formation, as it can still chemically react to decay organisms, but only once.
“Rings” in wood can be used to measure a trees age, the more rings, the older it is.
