'''Wood''' is ''the hard fibrous substance consisting basically of [[xylem]] that makes up the greater part of the stems, branches, and roots of trees or shrubs beneath the bark and is found to a limited extent in herbaceous plants''<ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wood Merriam-Webster: ''wood'']</ref>. Wood is used primarily in [[carpentry]], though it may also be used in creating homes, crosses, or for making a [[fire]]. Depending on the kind of tree the wood came from, the wood will have different properties.
