Paper can be made from wood pulp and other materials. But thin sheets of wood are called veneers. A wood veneer is much less flexible and more brittle than paper of a similar thickness, because the paper has short fibers running uniformly in all directions, while the wood has long, rigid fibers running primarily along the wood grain.
