woodlike

Resembling tree material

Woodlike describes something that resembles wood in appearance, texture, or other qualities without actually being wood.

The term appears most often in product descriptions for synthetic flooring, laminate, or composite materials designed to mimic natural wood grain.

The woodlike finish gave the vinyl planks a more expensive look.

Something woodlike may also suggest rigidity or stiffness characteristic of wood.
