    CHARACTERISTICS OF TEN TROPICAL HARDWOODS FROM CERTIFIED FORESTS IN BOLIVIA PART I WEATHERING CHARACTERISTICS AND DIMENSIONAL CHANGE R. Sam Williams Supervisory Research Chemist Regis Miller Botanist and John Gangstad Technician USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory1 Madison, WI 53705-2398 (Received July 2000) ABSTRACT Ten tropical hardwoods from Bolivia were evaluated for weathering performance (erosion rate, dimensional stability, warping, surface checking, and splitting). The wood species were Amburana crarensis (roble), Anudenanthera macrocarpa (curupau), Aspidosperma cylindrocarpon Cjichituriqui), Astronium urundeuva (cuchi), Caesalpinia cf. pluviosa (momoqui), Diplotropis purpurea (sucupira), Guihourriu chodatiuna (sirari), Phyllostylon rhamnoides (cuta), Schinopsis cf. quebracho-colorudo (soto), and Tabeb~liuspp. (lapacho group) (tajibo or ipe). Eucalyptus marginatu Cjarrah) from Australia and Tectonu grandis (teak), both naturally grown from Burma and plantation-grown from Central America, were included in the study for comparison. The dimensional change for the species from Bolivia, commensurate with a change in relative humidity (RH) from 30% to 90%, varied from about 1.6% and 2.0% (radial and tangential directions) for Arnburunu cer~ren.risto 2.2% and 4.1% (radial and tangential) for Anadenanthera macrocarpu. The dimensional change for teak was 1.3% and 2.5% (radial and tangential) for the same change in relative humidity. None of the Bolivian species was completely free of warp or surface checks; however, Anadenanthera macrocarpu, Aspidosperma cy- lindrocurpon, and Schinopsis cf. quebracho-colorado performed almost as well as teak. The erosion rate of several of the wood species was considerably slower than that of teak, and there was little correlation between wood density and erosion rate. Part 2 of this report will include information on the decay resistance (natural durability) of these species.

    REAL CEDAR PROJECTS for OUTDOOR LIVING WESTERN RED CEDAR Outdoor Living Western Red Cedar is suitable for a broad range of functional and decorative applications. In general, applications can be classified into two broad end use groups: first, for those structures such as large buildings in which both the strength and the appearance of exposed wood members are of equal importance; and second, in landscape, park and garden structures where appearance is paramount. For both use-groups, Western Red Cedar offers the advantages of natural beauty, design flexibility, exceptional dimensional stability and long term durability.

  • Care and Preservation of Furniture and Wooden Objects by Louise Beck, Conservator, the Henry Ford
    The Care and Preservation of Furniture and Wooden Objects by Louise Beck, Conservator, The Henry Ford. Introduction Antique furniture and wooden objects can be maintained for years of use and enjoyment provided that some basic care and attention is given to their preservation. The conservation staff at The Henry Ford have compiled the information in this fact sheet to help individuals care for their objects and collections. The first step in the care of collections is to understand and minimize or eliminate conditions that can cause damage. The second step is to follow basic guidelines for care, handling and cleaning. Types of Damage For most antique furniture owners, the desire to both utilize their collections and at the same time preserve them presents a formidable challenge. These two objectives are often at odds with each other. Improper handling/usage/display, environment, cleaning, and repair are the most common causes of damage to furniture and wooden objects. The primary cause of damage to furniture is careless handling and use, resulting in damage to surfaces or structural damage to the object. Inappropriate environment, both in terms of light and relative humidity, can lead to damage. Excessive light can accelerate the aging and degradation of finishes resulting in a cracked, brittle or "alligatored" appearance; it can also cause fading or softening of the finish. Since wood is a porous material it readily absorbs water when humidity levels are high. This absorption of moisture causes wood to swell. Conversely, wood shrinks in a dry environment. The shrinkage of wood in dry environments leads to the formation of structural cracks, lifting veneer and inlays, gaps in joints and the embrittlement of adhesives.

  • Natural Durability of Narrow Leaved Ash (Fraxinus Angustifolia Vahl.) Wood from Planted and Natural Stands
    Ormancılık Dergisi 12(1) (2016) 30-39 Natural Durability of Narrow Leaved Ash (Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl.) Wood from Planted and Natural Stands Kamile TIRAK HIZAL1*6, Nurgün ERDİN2 Abstract Sustainability of natural forests is under pressure due to some social and economic problems existing in developing countries. In such countries, creation of new resources for wood production by plantation establishment is necessary in order to protect forest eco-system and to meet the demand for wood. Fast-growing plantations will be relied upon as a key element in meeting future demand for wood. Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl. (Narrow leaved ash-NLA) tree is the most important species for Turkey because of its fast growing ability and valuable wood. It is also used in parquet, sports tools, mine poles, and caique building. The exceptional property of ash is its bending ability and flexibility. NLA wood is known as non-resistant to fungi but there is no information about planted ash wood. For this reason, possible durability differences between planted and natural grown NLA wood was studied in this study. Natural durability of fast growing NLA species, grown in plantation and natural stands was evaluated by soil-block decay test method according to ASTM D- 2017 -05. The ash trees were felled down from Adapazarı and Sinop regions and then test specimens were exposed to a brown rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum, two white rot fungi Pleurotus ostreatus and Coriolus versicolor for 12 weeks. The natural durability was determined by the weight loss percentage of the test blocks. As a result, there is no significant different between plantation and natural grown NLA wood durability against brown and white rot fungi.

    PYROGRAPHY BASICS (Demonstration) Janice Levi [email protected] www.janicelevi.com 713-410-4193 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT: (Wood burners) Solid Tip Wood Burner ◦ Temperature cannot be controlled, ◦ Writing tip is usually heavier in size. ◦ Shading is controlled by how quickly or slowly the line is burned. Variable Temperature Wood Burner—Temperature can be controlled, tips are either fixed or interchangeable. Soldering Iron ◦ Some have temperature controls ◦ Tips can be purchased or homemade Home Made Wood Burners—Burners can be made from battery chargers and dimmer switches. (NOTE: I will primarily be demonstrating the variable temperature wood burner) OTHER EQUIPMENT: Burning Tips—A variety of tips can be purchased. Tips can also be made from nichrome wire, available online, or brass rod Graphite pencils—2B, 4B, 6B Graphite Paper 200-250 grit sandpaper, brass brush, or steel wool scouring pad—to clean the tips Needle Nose pliers—for one-temperature tools Metal ruler or straightedge Drafter’s triangle To add color, you can use: ◦ Artist quality colored pencils, markers ◦ Artist’s acrylic paint and brushes, dyes Spray Fixative, Polyurethane spray sealer, tung oil, Danish oil finish and Paste wax, water-based urethane WOODS TO SELECT: Soft woods (bass wood, white pine, holly) can be burned to a very dark chocolate brown or black Hard woods allow for more variety in shading and are good for complex shading projects Fine grain woods show very little color change in lines and are generally preferred Light colored woods allow for more variety in color range of burning Dark colored woods result in a richness and depth of tone Avoid burning treated wood because of the preservatives Endgrain does not generally color as well as crossgrain with the burner or with paints SAFETY TIPS AND HELPFUL HINTS: Hold the burner pen the way you hold a pencil Hold the pen so the heat goes up, not back into the pen Do not breathe the smoke.
