Uses of wood
Wood has many uses and has been widely used by humankind since ancient times, continuing into modern civilized society. Here are eight common uses of wood.
1. Building construction
Wooden home construction has been popular for many years and remains widely used today. Typically, wood is used in home construction for flooring, door and window frames, and more. Many types of wood are suitable for this purpose, such as walnut (Juglans sp.), teak, pine (Pinus roxburghii), and mango (Mangifera indica). Fences and garden decorations are currently a very fashionable trend, and using this type of wood is an excellent choice. For wooden decorations, you can unleash your creativity and decorate your home, garden, roof, etc., as you wish. The best woods for these purposes are cedar (Cedrus libani) and redwood (Sequoia semipervirens).
2. Manufacturing tools
To add some uniqueness to your home interior, try using wood instead of plastic and iron to make utensils. Black walnut is an excellent choice.
3. Creating Art
As is well known, wood is widely used in sculpture, carving, and decorative art. Furthermore, you may notice that the frames for art panels and colored panels are mostly made of wood. The best types of wood are pine (Pinus sp.), maple (Acer sp.), and cherry (Cherry).
4. Making musical instruments
Most musical instruments, such as the piano, violin, cello, guitar, and many others, must be made of wood to produce perfect melodies. Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), maple, and ash (Fraxinus sp.) are among the best choices for making guitars.
5. Furniture production
For a long time, wooden furniture has been regarded as a symbol of nobility. Several types of wood can be used to make furniture, such as teak (Tectona grandis) and mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla).
6. Shipbuilding
Timber is one of the most important materials in shipbuilding, and both hardwoods and softwoods can be used. Generally, the best types of timber for shipbuilding are: teak (Shorea robusta), mango, arjuna (Terminalia arjuna), cypress (Cupessaceae sp.), mahogany (Sequoioideae sp.), white oak (Quercus alba), and cedar (Agathis asutralis).
7. Fuel
The world needs energy, and the main source of energy is fuel. Before natural gas exploration, the most commonly used material was wood because it was readily available.
8. Stationery
We can hardly imagine life without paper and pencils. Paper and pencils are primarily made from wood, such as the butterfly tree (Heritiera fomes), sea lacquer tree (Excoecaria agallocha), and neem tree (Xylocarpus granatum).
