what are different types of wood in weakest to strongest order?

Here they are...weaker first.\n\nbalsa, fir, pine, douglas fir, oak, hickory\n\nThe strongest of available woods for airplanes is hickory, as it was used on the wingtips.\n\nSitka spruce was used everywhere else ,not because it was weak, but strong for it's weight.\n\nThe "Spruce Goose" was made from douglas fir and douglas fir plywood.

engineered wood is stronger.

Balsa wood is lighter and finely grained so it is less likely to break than more coarsely grained woods like fir.

"Prettiest" is a very subjective term.\n\nPersonally, I find that a fully mature American Elm tree is very pleasing.  One of the best shade trees you can have.  Sadly nearly wiped out in most of North America by Dutch Elm Disease.\n\nThe African Baobab is also very cool, with the massive central pillar that looks like it could withstand dinosaurs.\n\nHuge Douglas Fir and California Redwoods will fill you with awestruck majesty, especially when taken en masse in an ancient forest.  It's too bad there's so few of them left because someone decided they make nice picnic tables.\n\nBald Cypress in a deep florida or Louisiana swamp is another tree that will conjure images of dinosaurs.\n\nHeck, about the only tree I don't like is the Black Ash (Fraxinus niger) now that's an ugly tree.

You don't want to go with wood. They don't last. Anything by Easton would be a fine choice.

hardwood: A description applied to woods from deciduous broad-leafed trees (Angiosperms). The term has no reference to the actual hardness of the wood.\n\nsoftwood: any tree in the gymnosperm group, including pines, hemlocks, larches, spruces, firs, and junipers. Softwoods often are called conifers although some, such as junipers and yews do not produce cones.\n\nSo the terms have nothing to do with actual hardness. Although softwoods are generally softer than hardwoods, there is no real cutoff for hardness between the two. For example, balsa is technically a hardwood, although it is one of the softest woods in the world.

There is a word Heartwood in xylology.If you mean so,it is not possible becuse it is totally resistant due to deposition of lignin and resins etc.

Most modern sticks are made from fiberglass/aluminum or carbon fiber.  These come in either one or two-piece.  Two-piece sticks allow you to snap the blade and replace it without scrapping the whole stick.  The blades are made of wood, fiberglass, carbon, or any combination there of.  The most common wood used today is White Ash and Birch.\n\nOne piece carbon sticks are made from the inside, out.  They layer carbon fiber over and over.  Each layer gets a coat of epoxy.  This is what makes it hard.  The epoxy has very little strength and the carbon is strong but flimsy.  Think of carbon fiber as fabric and the epoxy as peanut brittle (stay with me).  If you took a slapper with just an epoxy stick, it would shatter.  If you took a slapper with just a carbon fiber stick, it would flap in the breeze.  The combination of the two gives it unbeatable strength yet still allows it to flex a bit.\n\nOld wood sticks are still around, but the preferred wood (Rock Elm) is becoming scarce.  Dutch Elm disease has wiped out most of the supply.  So now manufactures are turning to White Ash.  It's not as strong, but it's about 1/4 the price of Rock Elm.

Collenchyma is strengthened by pectin so the cell wall is thickened unevenly.Parenchyma mostly found on the young shoots or leaves.They don't have cell wall.Sclerenchyma is strengthened by lignin.So,the strongest is Sclerenchyma because they cell wall thickened evenly not like collenchyma

Just choose five deciduous trees - oak, maple, elm, poplar, hickory, chestnut, etc.  Of course, if you need to be more specific, white or red oak, sugar or red maple, American elm, yellow poplar, American chestnut, etc.  If you need things other than trees, try shrubs (multi-floral rose, sweet shrub or japonica) or fruit-bearing plants (blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, gooseberry).

it depends on which grain you like the best. if you work with composite, then go with composite. If you also work with a wood bat in a game its best to stay with the same type of wood for the cages. My personal favorite is maple, and i can hit better with it. good luck

Carved from red cedar trees. Red cedar is the best choice because it is a soft wood with a straight grain and it grows large enough in diameter.\n\nAlthough it depends upon what part of the country your in.  There are totem poles utilized by different tribes around the world including small tropical islands.

You can look up the properties of Balsa wood.   I've done this kind of project many times.  The yeild strength of balsa wood depends GREATLY on the dimensions (length and width) of your piece.  The trick to making strong structures is to reduce any bending moments by supporting "flexible" pieces so that they are more rigid.\n\nThe strength of the glue that you use will also determine how strong your structure is.  Perhaps the best glue out there for Balsa wood is the Elmer's Wood Bond glue (Available at Home Depot).  I build furniture from time-to-time... and I'll vouche for this stuff.  Gorilla glue works well too. Superglues are faster, but are not nearly as water resistant (cyanoacrylate polymerizes in water and can create WEAK bonds).

Wood is made up of cellulose (see above) and lignine. The lignine is the glue that makes wood wood. All plants are built out of cellulose.

They are cheap enough to buy. And they are safer, especially if you plan to take in on a river or ocean.\n\nIf you are on a deserted island, well, that's a different story!!!!\n\nNot sure what would be the best wood to use.  Most would get water logged and lose its bouyancy
