I keep hearing comments like that, Phil, with the implication that wood is not a renewable resource---which is, of course, nonsense.

Petro-based and mineral-based products are made from non-renewable resources, as are practically all the man-made materials we use every day---like synthetic cutting boards.
Well, it's the speed aspect of it specifically. Cut a hardwood and plant a new one and you're looking at decades before harvest. Bamboo a few years.
