木材是一种优良的天然材料,具有其他材料无法比拟的特性:比强度高,加工容易,电绝缘性、隔热性、隔音性好,视觉特性、触觉特性、听觉特性、嗅觉特性及环境调节特性好,价格便宜等,自古为人类所使用。不过,木材也存在着易燃、易腐朽、尺寸稳定性差等缺点,这些限制了木材的有效利用。由于各国开始重视天然林的保护、限制天然林的采伐,现在人们可以获得的木材资源,特别是贵重材、优质材在世界范围内出现了严重缺(德、法等少数国家除外),世界各国 Wood is an excellent natural material with incomparable characteristics of other materials: high strength, easy processing, electrical insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation, visual properties, tactile properties, auditory properties, olfactory properties and environmental regulation Good features, cheap, etc., used by humans since ancient times. However, wood also has flammable, easy to decay, poor dimensional stability and other shortcomings, which limits the effective use of wood. As countries begin to attach importance to the protection of natural forests and limit the harvesting of natural forests, there is a serious shortage of wood resources available to the public, especially precious and quality timber (except for a few countries such as Germany and France)
