Abstract
Wood is a biological material that has widely different properties on speci
es, geographic area where the tree grew, the growth conditions, size of the
tree at harvest, sawing and other manufacturing processes. some of the mos
t important wood properties as they relate to wood finishing are discussed,
e.g., growth rate, density, knots, extractives, juvenile wood, grain orien
tation, and weathering characteristics.
