Wood and timber are natural organic materials that comprise the structural tissue of trees. They are composed of cellulose fibers embedded in a matrix of lignin, which creates a material that is incredibly strong in both tension and compression. There are two forms of wood products: natural and engineered. Natural wood is harvested directly from natural growing trees, whereas engineered wood is man made by binding the fibers harvested from natural wood together with laminates or glues to form a different pattern of interlocking fibers that provide a material with characteristics that may not be found in natural wood products.
