Standard DRs, etc
The DR for the wood represents the amount of damage that must be exceeded for any damage to occur to the wooden plank. The "hits" are the number of points of damage in a 50 cm circle of wood if attacked by a non-impaling weapon. An impaling weapon would make a hole only slightly larger than it is.

All of this information lacks geographic context. The costs assume that you are in the area that actually produces this type of wood. Transport will increase these costs.
- Alloemor Try: +10% Hits, fire-resistant, +20% cost.
- Oec,
- Blac: standard
- Hwiet: standard
- Swomp: densest oec, +1 DR, +10% hits, +45% cost
- Ieurn Wood: very rare, +4 DR, +50% hits, unknown cost.
- Shyld Borc: very rare, +3 DR, +40% hits, unknown cost.
- Pien,
In general, piens and furs are softer woods than the oex. Therefore, they all have 1 DR less (min. 1, max. 5) and 10% fewer hits. On the plus side, they are substantially cheaper, being more plentiful. In general, they take 15% off of the cost of a vessel. You could combine this with thinner woods, but the result may not be as sturdy as one would wish.
