Lumber is an orthotropic material, hard and fibrous with which the trunks of trees are formed.

Once cut and dried, the wood is used for different purposes and different areas such as: pulp or paste manufacturing, the raw material to make paper, and fuel the fire. In this case, it is called firewood and it is one of the simplest forms of biomass use. It is also used for engineering, construction and carpentry, medicine, and transportation.
Wood is classified into different types. Some of these are white wood (from fast-growing trees), Hardwoods (from slow-growing trees), Resinous Woods (specifically resistant to moisture), Fine Woods (used for artistic applications), and Prefabricated Woods (they are made with leftover wood).
