    Wood has three main components - cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin - that give it physical properties like strength, hardness, stiffness, and density. Its physical properties also depend on growth rings, knots, whether it is heartwood or sapwood, color, and water content. Wood is commonly used as a construction material and fuel source, and has future potential applications like engineered wood products that are more consistent and can be used in wet environments.

    Physical properties of wood


    Growth rings Knots Heartwood and sapwood Color Water content

    Growth Rings
    If there are clear four seasons, growth can occur in a discrete annual or seasonal pattern, leading to growth rings.

    Knots
    A knot is a particular type of imperfection in a piece of wood; it will affect the technical properties of the wood, usually for the worse, but may be exploited for visual effect.

    Heartwood and sapwood


    Heartwood is wood that as a result of a naturally occurring chemical transformation has become more resistant to decay. Sapwood is the younger, outermost wood; in the growing tree it is living wood, and its principal functions are to conduct water from the roots to the leaves . All wood in a tree is first formed as sapwood.

    Water Content
    The general effect of the water content upon the wood substance is to render it softer. Drying produces a decided increase in the strength of wood.

    Usage of wood
    1)Wood as a fuel 2) Construction 3) Future usage and recreation

    1. Wood usage from fuel to design elements


    Wood has a long history of being used as fuel, which continues to this day, mostly in seldom occupied living places. It has huge variety of application Adding a starting from woodstove or industrial use for fireplace to a running home is often felt mechanisms to to add ambiance design elements. and warmth.

    2. In construction
    Wood has been an important construction material since humans began building shelters, houses and boats. New domestic housing in many parts of the world today is commonly made from timber-framed construction.

    Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) is a project for metropolitan reforestation that contributes to the regeneration of the environment and urbanisation.

    Future wood usage and recreation.

    Engineered wood

    Conclusions
    All in all, we can state that wood is one of the most universal materials in terms of physical and chemical properties and can be applied in huge variety of spheres from factories to individual needs and still is in great concurence with modern era materials and technologies involving it.
