Even if not the precise % values, at least some general description like:

Live Oak - hardest wood available, heavy ships with hard armour to penetrate
Fir - lightest wood available, fast ships but very delicate

etc, etc

in game wiki imo.

Like total war serie do.

Or some kind of graphical indicator like

just very basic to give example

This is what you link the few players in game right now, that ask what woods they should use. This is not an intuitive working in game feature. So many new players are choosing strange woods for their redeemed ships. If they had crafted those builds them self, then I would get that they chose woods that are easily available, but when they redeem the ship to use it for PvE or PvP, they need some intuitive guide available ingame when they craft/redeem.  

We have the stat sheet in game that show all the properties for a crafted ship. You can see it in port and in OW. I think it would be perfect to have one of those connected to the crafting/redeeming process. So as you select different woods and planking you can see the stats properties of the ship change. This would be enough for me, but for new players maybe they would like a simplified or more graphical view.

But this should be posted as a suggestion maybe for future development of the game..

Even in the wiki I find little to no information on so much about this game. The in game explanations are spotty and deficient. The forum posts from the admin are sometimes confusing (for example the test bed challenge, 25 kills and five captures.) I believe the admin tries to inform us, but much is lost in translation. I was banned from the forums because they misunderstood a semi-common phrase used in English "swear on your mothers grave." They misunderstood it as me saying that I was swearing at their mothers grave. In their defense I can Imagine how much more difficult it would be to say something exact in many languages. This does not release them from the burden of the challenge. Far more accurate and easy to access information must be put in the game interface. Hopefully they recognize this.
