## Wood

Whitestone oak, resistant to pressure and heat, is a perennial favourite of not only miners and engineers, but the Paladin orders. An exotic wood of uncertain provenance, it is costly, but its extraordinary resistance to heat makes it worth the money for any using it in high-stress environments.

Sandalwood, in use for ornamental work by the Kaldorei.

Lacquered wood in Pandaren spears.

Bamboo in Pandaria, turned into paper, used for construction

Ebony, used for drinking vessels in Pandaria.

The rare 'Holyoak', the only material of which the churches of the antebellum Kingdom of Azeroth were built of.

Northeron ironwood, used for ballistae spans.

Spruce from Dustwallow is unsuited to serious uses.

Mundane oak may be found in Stranglethorn, Hearthglen , the Hinterlands, greatoak in the Elwynn. Crystallized in Crystalsong Forest. Utilized in Dwarven constructions.

Satinwood trees in Elwynn.

Maple may be found in the Hinterlands</ref>Lands of Conflict</ref>

Cedar in the Grizzly Hills, or at least used by them. Elwynn.

Elms in Redridge. Also pines./

Great pine forests in Dun Morogh, Loch Modan, Alterac. The great silverbarks of Silverpine, too. Pines, or a related species, were found on pre-collapse Draenor. Daggercap Bay. Grizzly Hills on the whole (Shocker!).

Darkwood, as strong as iron may come from Tol Barad's 'Darkwood' forest. But probably not.

Hydrobarks, natives to the various riverbanks of the world, offer unique properties suited to the creation of the hydrocanes, staves of great value to sailors.

Now largely extinct, the precious Brightwood tree may still be found in areas of Hyjal. Their wood is not their most valuable part - rather, their silvery bark may be alchemically treated to be as strong as iron.

Hickory shortbows in Durotar.

The crystalized and magically charged woods of Crystalsong Forest repel death and decaying things, and as such is of great architectural use.

Cherry trees in Jade Forest. Possibly also, as a result, the fruits.

Rosewood in Jade Forest, in use by the Jinyu.

While not strictly speaking a wood, rattan cane in the Jade Forest.

Walnut in Jade Forest.

Cypress on the Wandering Isle.

## Stone

Alabaster has seen use both decorating the spires of Capital City and as a material for carving small statuettes by the Wildhammer dwarves. Also used in Bael Modan

Glazed clay tiles were in use on Draenor, with a wide variety of pigments available. Despite the common opinion of the Orcs as brutish savages, their pre-collapse Draenic society was one of sophisticated craftsmanship and tribal interrelations.

Clay statuary and tile among the Tol'vir.

Soapstone in use by the Tol'vir for decorative purposes.

Jade. Pandaria. All that needs saying there, really. Titans too!

The vast terracotta armies of the Mogu.

White marble floor in Lordaeron's palace. Also used for the Temple of Suramar and its other buildings (usually painted with vibrant paints). Used in the Elven ruins of Shandaral, where it has become enchanted by proxy.  Thalassian architecture. Stormwind's palace.

Granite from the Alterac Mountains, including Darrow Hill. Redridge range and Karazhan. Used for Trollbane Keep. Found wherever Black Rook Hold was. Mountains around Gnomeregan.It and other igneous rocks for Azjol'nerub. Found in the Storm Peaks - or at least Fjorn's Anvil. Utilized in Lordaeron's palaceand Booty Bay's statue

Limestone and gypsum in the central barrens.

The Blasted Lands is rich in red clays.

Obsidian in Ahn'qiraj, Blackrock Spire, Nagrand

Sandstone in the Thousand Needles.Razorwind Canyon.

Slate roofing tiles in Stormwind. Some kind of tile for Gilnean roofs in the capital, possibly slate.

Cement, while not a stone, has been in use by the Goblins for architectural purposes since before the Second War.

Dolomite, hematite, cinnabar, and rosequartz in the Stonecore.

Basalt, found in Azshara (or at least on the body of Balboa. Yes, Rocky Basalt on Balboa.)

Shale, found in the North-West range of Dun Morogh.

While of limited use architecturally, chalk can be found in Northrend, utilized by the Wolvar tribes.
