Yes, cutting wood is a physical change. Not of the makeup of the wood itself, but of the Physical size or appearence. If you get a cut on your hand, it physically looks different, or if you cut off a finger cutting wood on a saw that is a physical change, is it not? Sorry to sound so blunt, but I think it better helps some to understand.
