if you chop down a tree and cut it into a bunch of little peices... can you put that tree back together so that it can continue on living its boring tree life? the answer is no it is irreversible
Coffee dissolving, water boiling and chocolate melting are reversible physical transformations whereas wood burning is a chemical combustive transformation.
An irreversible change is a transformation that once it occurs, cannot be undone or reversed to its original state. This could be a chemical reaction that produces new compounds or a physical change that alters the structure of a material in a way that is permanent. Examples include burning of a piece of paper, cooking an egg, or a rusting metal.

That change would be physical, since the chemical identity of the wood has not been altered by cutting it.
An irreversible change is a process that cannot be undone or reversed. Once the change occurs, it is permanent and cannot be restored to its original state. An example of an irreversible change is burning a piece of paper: once the paper is burnt, it cannot be turned back into its original form.
Reversible.

No, converting wood into sawdust is an irreversible change because the physical structure of the wood is permanently altered during the process. Once wood is broken down into sawdust, it cannot be easily converted back into its original form.
Cutting a piece of wood is a physical change because the chemical composition of the wood remains the same before and after cutting. The change is only in the physical appearance and shape of the wood.

burning or tree or wood is an irreversible chemical change.
It depends on how you bend the wood. For example, if you steam it, it is reversible. But if you cut notches, it is not reversible.
Converting wood to sawdust involves physically breaking down the structure of the wood into smaller particles. This change is irreversible because the original composition of the wood is permanently altered when it is reduced to sawdust, making it difficult to revert back to its original form without significant effort or energy input.
They are the result of two or more reactants usually combining. You can identify when a chemical reaction has occured by a change of state being physical e.g. liquid to gas. The product may change in colour, taste, smell, temperature, size etc. You can also tell if it starts to effervest - bubble. There are reversible and irreversible chemical reactions. Reversible is obviously when you can change the effects e.g. you can melt and re-solidify water whereas irreversible you can't e.g. can't turn ash back into wood when burnt. Hope that helps (;
Decaying of wood is a chemical change since it leads to the formation of a different substance. The process is irreversible.
Do the logs change from wood to some other substance? No, so it has to be a physical change.
