Should Wood Ever Last?
Wood has been the most popular choice for centuries. Its resistance to decay makes it well-suited for building everything from simple shelters to complex structures. But will wood truly last forever?
The answer is complicated. While certain varieties of wood are incredibly resilient, even the strongest timber can eventually succumb to the ravages of time and nature.
Exposure to elements like moisture, sunlight, and pests can degrade wood over time. And while we have created processes to protect the life of wood, nothing can truly stop the natural process of decay.
So, may wood ever last forever? Possibly. But it's more likely that wood will continue to be a valuable and useful resource for as long as we require its unique properties.
