Doty

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001794

Describing timber that exhibits early stages of decay, characterized by discoloration or softening of the wood fibers.

Doty wood is weaker than sound timber and is unsuitable for structural applications, often being discarded or used for non-load-bearing purposes.
