Wood as a building material, from solid sawn timber through the twentieth century's engineered wood products: plywood, glued laminated timber, oriented strand board and cordwood construction. Belongs here: any named timber or engineered-wood material considered for its own composition and structural properties, distinct from cross laminated timber, already carried under Elements and Materials. Does not belong here: the framing systems such materials enable, such as the balloon frame or post and lintel construction, which is Elements and Materials' subject.
