Primarily timber (not green ) suffers issues with drying. In a world of high demand timber is frequently kiln dried (basically baked) to remove moisture. This will cause cupping, shaking bowing and warping if not kept under heavy weight pressure.

Timber also suffers from knotting (where the branches were sprouting from) this can be very visually pleasing to some but can cause bleeding of sap from the knot. There is also issues of heart wood being difficult to machine as it can split away from the main trunk.

Disease such as dutch elm, infestation from insects a and of course dry and wet rot can make a piece of timber not more than fire wood
