Wood is one of the oldest materials used by people for making tools, utensils, shelter, ships and vehicles because it can be easily worked with simple tools. It soon became apparent that wood is susceptible to the effects of fire, weathering, and various organisms. The Bible referred to decay fungi and wood borers as pests. Thus, it is not surprising that people attempted to improve the durability of wood by various means.
