Wood

Wood was a generic term for building materials which could be obtained from trees. Important woods included greel wood, harvested from the greel trees of Pii III and Pii IV; wroshyr-wood, obtained from the giant wroshyr trees of the planet Kashyyyk; and Alderaanian rainbow wood, a commodity made scarce following the destruction of the planet Alderaan.

Wood had a number of uses. The Ewoks of Endor used lightweight sacred wood in the construction of skin gliders. It was sometimes used to signify luxury, including as interior paneling on luxury speeders like the Ubrikkian LuxurPort Zisparanza, which was paneled with Alderaanian rainbow wood until its scarcity forced the manufacturers to switch to scarlet-hued greel wood.

Those who harvested wood from trees professionally were known as loggers. A group of alien loggers came to Endor to harvest wood from the forest moon's many Soul Trees, sacred to the native Ewoks; but their operation was thwarted by the young Ewoks Wicket and Princess Kneesa, and the young Foonar Dooni.
