Just build structures with it, cover with tile or metal to keep the water off, and it will last thousands of years. See Nara, Japan for examples.

- 101km 9y agoFrom what I've seen in Nara they actually ritualistically rebuild the wooden structures every couple of decades or when there is a fire.
- novembermike 9y agoYeah, IIRC almost none of the old Japanese wooden buildings are original. They all have a strong ship of Theseus theme going on, but philosophically the Japanese tend to view the building as the place and purpose and layout and not the individual boards that are used to build it so it doesn't get communicated.
