The Macroscopic Structure of Wood

Understanding the macroscopic structure of wood and its formation is essential to identifying evaluating properties quality. Depending on genetic background, environmental conditions, tree developmental stage, can vary greatly produce specific signatures. Here, a comprehensive outline wood’s features that be used identify by examination presented. The planes observations are first depicted, fundamental differences between softwoods hardwoods outlined. Then, all different cell characteristics, arrangements, distributions macroscopically observed illustrated with their influence figure texture non-anatomical features.
