where density is cool

high-load beams and posts: compression and bending

posts and docks => wet exposure

flooring and handles => dents and abrasion

charcoal and biochar => energy content

dense fibers => natural termite resistance

combustibility => | higher density = burns slower

trade-offs

tensegrity

ease of sawing

scaffolding

high-elevation transport

food dryers

thermal insulation => lower density = better insulation
