Are you referring to Leviticus 13:45-59 where the mention of "warp & woof" is in several verses? If so, this whole chapter is devoted to the disease of leprosy, if it happened to appear amongst the children of Israel.
The verses prior to verse 45, describe the leprae bacteria that is found in the skin or scalp of the diseased person. From verse 45, it's the disease that is noticed in the person's clothing. So if it was found in the clothing, whether linen, woollen or of skin material, that garment was to be burned. So the mention of "warp & woof" in the garments, signifies the basic structure of the garment, that of its weaving of the thread: it is the direction of the weave of that particular garment. The "warp" threading runs lengthwise, and the "woof" threading runs across the garment. This, to me, shows how close an examination had to be made to detect any evidence of leprosy, as if any evidence escaped the priest, then the community would be at risk. And so we see our present distress of having to mask up, be checked out & quarantine ourselves in this Covid pandemic, just as the leper had to do in those early days - these were God's instructions to properly & carefully deal with diseases or plagues.
And a further note about "warp & woof", I've learned that this term is also used in this way: For example, "The Constitution & Declaration of Independence are the warp and woof of the American nation", denoting its essential foundational base of the country, or the thread which holds it together.
I hope that explains it better for you, though if you meant 'wood & warp' that you saw in some other Scripture, then I don't know of any such phrase, & my apologies for rambling on.
