An overview of the structure and categorization of timber is given in this chapter. Timber, commonly referred to as wood, is a flexible and frequently used material in a variety of sectors, including building, the production of furniture, and paper. For effective exploitation and sustainable management of timber, it is essential to understand the structure and categorization of the material. The anatomical makeup of lumber is examined in this chapter, along with its growth rings, cellular structure, and physical characteristics. The categorization of lumber according to its origin, appearance, and mechanical characteristics is also covered. Professionals and researchers may choose, process, and apply wood in more effective ways by learning about its structure and categorization.
