All woods have some characteristics in common, despite their differences.
Structure and composition of the wood. It is wood that fibrous hard material under the tree’s bark. Wood gets its character from the spindle shaped hollow cells. The spindle-shaped cells run parallel to the trunk. Cell arrangement affects wood properties such as strength and shrinkage. It is also affected by the fibrousness of wood. When trees add more wood, they grow. Each year, wood which has already been formed is not added to. Instead, it becomes a new annual ring. Earlywood refers to the spring-formed part of the growth rings. The color is pale. It is darker than the earlywood.
Wood is thermally conductive. Wood is thermal. It is energy efficient because of its thermal properties. Stone and wood have similar reactions to heat. Imagine that a stone has been in the sun all day. As temperatures begin to drop at sunset, bring the rock inside. According to its size, a stone may continue emitting the heat that it has absorbed many hours. The same principle applies to logs. We call it thermal mass. The wood conducts heat more slowly than any other material. The heat specificity of wood is much higher than that of bricks and concrete. It is not used as a heat store because wood doesn’t move heat as rapidly as concrete or brick.
