The history and origins of wood

Wood is a natural material of plant origin. It is made up of a set of tissues that make up the trunk, branches, and roots. It is often used in building construction, as fuel, and in industry in general (paper industries, chemical industries...). The main wood harvesting areas in the world are found in the United States, Canada, and Russia.

This material has been used since the dawn of humanity. It is a soft material, easier to work than stone, which makes it an essential element for the survival of the human species. Man first made tools, weapons, shelters from it... It would later be used for building structures, bridges, decorative art objects (marquetry, sculpture, and of course... jewelry!). Among the Ancient Greeks and Romans, it echoed the gods. Each god had their sacred wood.

Wood is a very versatile material. It can also be found in cooking or in medicine and cosmetics. Indeed, certain types of wood give rise to essential oils or resins, which can be used for 

  • to heal, 
  • to soothe, 
  • to relax
