what i initially think of this subject?
Myself and other class members have been assigned the task of researching and giving a half an hour talk on 'WOOD' (classification, structure and Uses, and issues). My contribution to this topic was to research and present the structural formation of wood, which initially i though was rather dull, however really got into it and acquired a better appreciation for the material. Whilst looking at different types of wood i was aware and in most cases able to classify the types of wood of my own furniture and identify tree's on my street and on the way to uni (which was really geeky!). the contribution made by others to the presentation also equipped me with a greater understanding of 'wood' surprises i found out about wood?
Where next? ......... I need to look at plastics and metals which im guessing will be much more involved. Now that i have a greater understanding of the properties of wood, i would like to ensure i consider this when working with the material. |
