USES of WOOD in PAST & PRESENT

PASTSome of the earliest uses of

wood were fuel for heating &cooking.Even today,this accounts the highest demand & use of wood in many developing countries.As industrial technology advances, wood was more frequently in exterior structural applications.Wood was also used to make boats & spears.
