Wood is convenient, in part, because it is easily cut, drilled, nailed, glued, routed, shaped, and otherwise readily adapted to multiple uses and applications by workers using simple hand tools. Developing a new material is one part of the equation. Making it work in the building industry represents a different set of challenges.
