    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardwood

    This makes the denser hardwoods like oak, cherry, and apple more suited for camp fires, cooking fires, and smoking meat, as they tend to burn hotter and longer than softwoods like pine or cedar whose low-density construction and highly-flammable pitch make them burn quickly and without producing quite as much heat.

  3. Wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood

    The wood from conifers (e.g. pine) is called softwood, and the wood from dicotyledons (usually broad-leaved trees, e.g. oak) is called hardwood. These names are a bit misleading, as hardwoods are not necessarily hard, and softwoods are not necessarily soft.

    Oak timber is a strong and hard wood with many uses, such as for furniture, floors, building frames, and veneers. [70] The wood of a red oak Quercus cerris (the Turkey oak) has better mechanical properties than those of the white oaks Q. petraea and Q. robur; the heartwood and sapwood have similar mechanical properties. [71]

    Bog-wood may come from any tree species naturally growing near or in bogs, including oak (Quercus – "bog oak"), pine , yew , swamp cypress and kauri .

    The William Ritter Lumber Company (1890–1960), famous for its Appalachian oak flooring and other products, used a modified technique to reduce waste: bark and a few boards were removed from two opposite sides of the log; the log was cut in half (possibly, four quarters); each piece was placed on the flat side and "quartersawn" lumber was cut ...

  9. Thermally modified wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermally_modified_wood

    Thermally modified wood is engineered wood that has been modified by a controlled pyrolysis process of wood being heated to (> 180 °C) in an oxygen free atmosphere. This process changes to the chemical structures of wood's cell wall components lignin , cellulose and hemicellulose which decreases its hygroscopy and thus increases dimensional ...
