how long does it take for brass and wood to be biograded?

Answer 1

Depends on the type of wood and the size (thickness). Brass....never.

Answer 2

For wood it would depend on the type of wood, the thickness of it, and if it had any finish on it that would have to wear away first. Obviously, the thicker, the longer. A soft wood would be faster than a hardwood. For instance, locust has been used for fence posts for hundreds of years. Brass.....put it this way, brass and copper were used on the exterior of homes to protect them from the weather! (Still are albeit, rarely) Brass of any thickness will last forever.

Answer 3

Brass....
I have bought uncleaned coins made of brass (And bronze) that have been in the ground for over 2,000 years.
After cleaning just off about .001"-.002" from the surface ...They look almost as good as new...

So a good quality of brass will degrade almost none whatsoever.


Wood depends a lot on the type of tree and its density......An evergreen like a white pine tree might last for 2-10 years before it falls apart...
But some woods like ceder or Cyprus may take hundreds of years to decay.

Answer 4

Give the 10 to sensible. With all due respect too...take a walk in some wooded area sometime. You might see fallen trees of branches that have laid on the ground for more time than you've been alive.

Brass is an elemental metal/alloy. NEVER is the best answer you'll get. I'll give you another example. Consider the TITANIC.....
