Ignition temp. isn't a constant and depends on the species, age and moisture content and time of exposure to high temp. There's a good discussion and data in the ref.

My research says this temperature is 662 degrees Fahrenheit, but extended exposure to lower temperatures can ignite wood after many hours.
One source states that at a temperature of only 360 degrees, some wood will build up heat and begin to char in about 15 minutes. If temperatures of only 225 degrees are sustained on a piece of wood for THREE YEARS, it will char and weaken eventually. It also varies with the density and the hardness of the wood. At temperatures exceeding 2000 degrees, wood burns in a matter of seconds.
Type "wood ignition temperature" into you browser for several articles on the subject.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/a0zKy
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

Fahrenheit 451. Hmm. Sounds like a good title for a book...

Isn't it 145 degrees or 341 or something? I might be thinking of general papers burning point there though.
