Wow, this is a pretty big swing-and-a-miss, honestly.

This discussion is about finite vs infinite in Economics, not physics. Arguing that wood is finite, in an economic sense, would be a laughable position - wood is almost always used as an example of an infinitely renewable resource.

This is an ad hominem. I did not a miss at all. Economics is bounded by the laws of physics. So, because wood is finite in a physical sense, it is also finite economically speaking.
