Wood in today's society needs chemical treatment or physical isolation before we use it a construction material.
- JodieBenitez 3y agoOnly because we use a lot of pine wood with low density (because cheap&fast). Not all wood is like that: Red cedar, douglas, larch, acacia and more... Where I live, chestnut is even used for roof tiling.

- JodieBenitez 3y agoIndeed... still used for wine bottles. I can't say I'm too happy with it though, given the amount of bottles spoiled by bad cork.
- daemin 3y agoThe screw top for wine bottles, one of the best inventions in recent decades.
- JodieBenitez 3y agoYes... easy to open, easy to close, needs no tool, preserves the wine. No drawbacks, unless you're into nostalgia.
- digging 3y agoI've started seeing screw-tops as an accessibility feature after the last time I got a bottle with a cork that was impossible for my mother to open and ended up crumbling anyway. I'm done with corks forever; they just don't make sense.
