<human>: Here is a goal: When doing on a woodworking project, why is it a good idea to boil the wood?

Which way makes more sense to accomplish this goal?

OPTIONS:
- To keep it flexible, therefore insuring a longer period of time to work.
- To melt the wood into wooden liquid juice in case you get thirsty.
