Interesting point about whether Flexure wood is really wound wood. I agree, in the process of flexing, injury within the tree can occur (even micro tears) leading to the formation of wound wood. We also know that wood formed from wounding is quite distinct biochemical and anatomical from other wood forms. The question than becomes is Flexure wood biochemical and anatomical different from Wound wood?
