Kent,

I got that  I was not aware than wood had been as a heat shield material by anyone and found that interesting enough I did some searching for some more details, for example here:

It was va3hj's response that I found confusing.

Hi  Graham  

I was just trying to show that this is not the first time wood has been used 
in a spacecraft.   I have my doubts wood would ever pass the NASA  
Out-Gassing specs to fly on a NASA flight.   Maybe if you left the wood in  
a vacuum chamber for a month.....hihi   Kent WA5VJB

For years the Chinese used laminated Oak wood as the re-entry heat shield on their spy satellites.     Kent WA5VJB
