prehistory
Hafted tools
木材 as the first structural composite.
木材 did not arrive as a finished commodity. Palaeolithic tools; CLT 1990s Austria around Global forests / Graz still explains who makes it and which tests it sits in.
Ten dated points, five eras and three milestones below are the spine — not a complete industrial history.

Knowing this timeline is how to read a mill certificate without treating 木材 as timeless.
