I think what you are forgetting is the difference between alive and dead
cells. Wood we use to build things with are made of dead tree cells. You
have to manipulate the live cells to do that. Might want to look up tree
splicing.
in short, you take to trees of the same species like tangerines and
grapefruit. Cut the tree trunks in a V-shape near the base of tree.
switch the top parts off tangerine base with grapefruit top and grape
fruit base with tangerine top. Sit them in the V-cut and tie the v
section tightly. Frequently water and fertilize the trees to aid in
healing and regrowth. If the tree survives, the fruit will be a tangelo.
You can also do this with red and white roses to make unnatural pink rose=
s.
This is possible because in that brief period where then the tree was
cut the "wound" of the tree still had live cells to reproduce. the extra
water and fertilizer is to help the tree cope with the "shock" of being
cut in half.
But trees are very complex plants to deal with. Things like moss are
easier...

and wood chips to create a more natural press-board, one that doesn't
require artificial glues to hold it together, so that this new kind of
press-board would be just as strong as naturally-grown wood.
