"Dead Wood"

[Farrell]

Yes, I am familiar with the term. It's been a while since my undergraduate forestry courses. If I'm not mistaken it describes a break that occurs with little bending because of pre-existing damage. Like if a wooden airplane wing breaks off suddenly and unexpectedly, and examination suggests pre-existing older partial breaks in the wood in the damaged area, it might be referred to as a brash failure.

So how does "brash failure" relate to wood loosing it's elasticity and dying? What's that all about?

  Terry, the Farrell asked: "The Pinblock Wood has lost it's elasticity, i.e. it's dead wood!" 

  Okay Joe, you asked for it. Care to expand a little and edumacate us wood loosing it's elasticity and dying?

  Seems to me the wood pretty much dead the day the tree is cut down - yes?
