When you hear "Solid wood", how do you interpret that? (lemmy.world)

Do you include things like particle board, MDF, plywood etc? Is there a line? And if so, what is it for you?

Particle board ~~and plywood~~ is made of sawdust and wood shavings. My definition of solid wood is something that came directly from a tree with the only major processing being cutting it into board, sheet, or similar.

Plywood is literally neither of those things.
