Oak is dense and considered a hardwood. That being said, it can absorb liquids, making it porous but, not as poroius as say plywood or mdf.
All wood is porous. The pores carry water from the roots to the leaves.
All wood is porous to a degree.
Wood is porous, it will have to be sanded.
It depends on the paint and composition. An oil based mastic paint used, for example, for waterproofing a basement is not porous, however an oil based wall and trim paint is. Check the manufacturer's data sheet to be sure.
No, most plastics are smooth and non-porous. For wood glue to work well it needs to soak into the materials that it's gluing. It can not do this with plastic, so will seem to stick at first, but will come loose when fully cured.
If water droplets penetrate within 3 minutes or less it is considered porous, if water droplets remain on top it is considered non porous..
because many different surfaces have different porous surfaces that will accept cover coatings in a different manner. Example-- wood has a very porous surface...if you shelac, let dry and then sand with a regular piece of writing paper the shelac coating will turn into an extreme smoothe coating making it easier for the next coat to go on much smoother than the one before that.
Yes
Wood is porous, it will have to be sanded.
It would first depend on how porous the wood is and how dry it is.
Because it is a porous solid.
No, luan is a plywood and wood is naturally porous.
Wood is porous and sucks in moisture. Also wood could catch on fire while in an oven.
Because it's not a metal and is a porous material.
Anything surface that won't absorb liquid, i.e. tile, glass, stone, laminated, varnished wood. Bare, untreated wood would be considered a porous surface. hope this helps
I think it is because metals are non-porous, with more dense and compacted molecules compared with water, wood or other porous materials.

Different types of wood have different coefficients of friction. As dense, hard, wood will tend to be smoother than a porous, soft, wood.
PVA is designed to work on porous materials only. It is a wood glue and not for metal
