    This document discusses the anatomy and features of wood on both a macroscopic and microscopic level. It explains that wood is made up of growth rings containing earlywood and latewood, with earlywood being lighter wood produced in early spring and latewood being darker wood produced in late summer. The document also covers the formation of earlywood and latewood, microscopic wood structure, normal versus abnormal growth ring patterns, grain orientation, and differences between softwoods and hardwoods.
