Yeah, I agree, use of tempering is no big deal, the reason I have commented is because when I saw it was about wood the use of the word confused me until I read further.

Roots are Latin>temperare,Old English>temprian,Old French>tremper(sense development).

Temperare is to moderate, tempo and tempor are related to time.

My apologies for being pedantic.
