Rollerblades:

There is no Chemical formula for wood. It isn't a compound.

It contains cellulose, lignin, etc....
 
This query is a repetition of that in thread124-102808.
 
Could it be that Rollerblades refers to Wood's metal ? [smile][smile]
 
Why do you need or think you need it?

Rollerblades, Wood is derived from a carbon based life form. Therefore, the chemical formula is: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and a multitude of other elements, mixed-matched-combined into a multitude of organic and inorganic molecular structures that when combined make wood.

Remember, Mother Nature is the greatest of all Chemical Engineers!

Hope this helps.
