**2.2 Wood properties**

Wood is a unique and attractive living texture that cannot be compared with any other material. Wood has great resistance and strength and is very flexible. The weight of wood is lighter than other materials and it can be made into different shapes. Another feature of wood is that it has different properties in different ways. You should know that wood is extremely durable. Many wooden items from hundreds or even thousands of years ago are still intact. Although one of the most important negative characteristics of wood is its inability to tolerate moisture. So that the exposure of wood to moisture can cause rotting of the wood texture as well as the growth of insects and fungi in it.

The most attractive feature of wood that makes it very distinctive is its amazing design and color. Woods have different colors and designs, and therefore they can be used to make different materials or different designs [16].

Converting wood into fibers and smaller components (chips) and then recombining these components into a variety of composite products makes the manufactured products have a more uniform resistance in different directions.

In addition to the mentioned cases, the environmental effects brought to the region due to mining often require more time than a human's lifetime to restore. While many trees can be produced during this time [17].
