  5. Properties of wood • Wood may be destroyed and damaged by fungi, insects and marine borers • Under proper use conditions, wood can give centuries of good service • Under unfavorable conditions wood can be crushed in powder • Wood is affected by environment factors such as temperature,moisture,winds,salty air, water etc • Wood can be cut,mould,bend,chip,stick etc GOOD FOR WOOD

  6. Wood enemies • Water,moisture,wind,salts,chemicals • Wood- inhabiting fungi- feed on living or dead wood and produce spores (microscopic seeds) • Spores can infect moist wood • Fungi need favorable temperature and moisture content • Types of fungi- wood decay fungi • sap staining fungi • decay fungi grows in interiors of wood • Fungi break down the cellulose component of wood GOOD FOR WOOD

  7. Wood enemies- contd. Wood decay fungi types • Brown rots • White rots • Soft rots Effects of fungi • Excessive wood shrinkage • Cross grain cracking • Powder Chemical stains – chemical changes in wood during processing or seasoning of wood GOOD FOR WOOD
