From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Wood is a hard, fibrous tissue found in many plants. It has been used for centuries for both fuel and as a construction material for several types of living areas such as houses. It is an organic material, a natural composite of cellulose fibers (which are strong in tension) embedded in a matrix of lignin which resists compression. In the strict sense wood is produced as secondary xylem in the stems of trees (and other woody plants). In a living tree it transfers water and nutrients to the leaves and other growing tissues, and has a support function, enabling woody plants to reach large sizes or to stand up for themselves. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, or wood chips or fiber. People have used wood for millennia for many purposes, primarily as a fuel or as a construction material for making houses, tools, weapons, furniture, packaging, artworks, and paper. Wood can be dated by carbon dating and in some species by dendrochronology to make inferences about when a wooden object was created. The year-to-year variation in tree-ring widths and isotopic abundances gives clues to the prevailing climate at that time. From Wikipedia under the

How scarse is wood Asked by Rosalie Hale - Sat Oct 25 00:17:55 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. *sighs* Wood is made from trees, and trees are still common (there is a moderate amount still left). So, wood isn't so scarce at the time but if we continue to cut down these trees to create paper, wood and other such, we'll be short of trees. By the way, how old are you? You should be able to tell that we aren't that scarce of trees at the moment because trees are almost everyone, except for those that have environments which isn't suitable for plant growth or places were trees and stumps are being cut down/removed like crazy.

I would go to a local hardware store and tell them what you are building and let them assist you in deciding what materials to use. Also, do you have some printed blueprints for it or are you trying to design it yourself? If you have blueprints, maybe the designer of the plan should recommend what materials to use.
