Wood is the structural tissue that comprises the stems, branches, and roots of trees. The fibrous substance tends to be strong yet pliable, and as such it has been used throughout human history as a principal construction material.

Lumber and timber are terms for wood which has been processed into planks and beams.

Trade

Those working with wood were commonly called woodworkers, though carpenters and joiners were two separate occupations under that collective noun.

History

Classical antiquity

In the 5th century BCE, the most common wood used in Greece was that of olive trees due to their ubiquity throughout the region.

Given Egypt's climate and the deserts ruling the landscape, wood was highly valued even during the Ptolemaic reign. At the time, the most commonly available wood was cedar.

Behind the scenes

While 'wood' refers to the material, 'woods' is a synonym for a woodland and even forest.
