Building with wood? "You might wanna..."

That is really true.

One complaint that I will not contest with wood building--in houses--is that its techniques are really stuck in a rut, and it is most commonly a very materials intensive way of building--at least compared to the very slick methods employed by modern boat builders. It doesn't have to be, but often it is, and sloppy to boot. Concrete work has become much much more sophisticated and smart in application and can be very effective indeed. You could probably build a concrete airplane at this point, if you really set out to do it as a stunt.
