  • Masonite Siding 101: Why It's Bad News
    Moving into a new home is a great feeling of accomplishment. Fixer-uppers have been a trend in the real estate market for some time now, and for a great reason. Often minor cosmetic adjustments to homes can have a major impact. But what happens when you find a problem that isn’t so DIY-friendly? Discovering masonite siding, also known as "fiberboard" or "hardboard", may unearth more serious problems for an older home. Masonite Siding 101: Hardboard is an engineered wood product that is comparable to particle board. This product is made from compressed wood fibers so it does not have a grain like solid wood. However, a wood veneer may be formatted over the product so it appears to be solid. If you’re unsure if your siding is in fact masonite, check unfinished areas like the attic for manufacturer’s markings. Another way to tell that your home has Masonite is the way that it is deteriorating -- look for flakes, curls and swelling in damaged areas. Masonite is know for extensive use in various industries for its durability and flexibility. During the 1980s and 1990s this product was used as exterior siding for many new construction homes. It was widely used for its low cost compared to regular siding material. Why It's Bad News: As one could imagine, a product with fibers is easily susceptible to moisture damage. The compression process often leaves only one side of the product smooth which proves to be a greater risk for water issues. Over time, masonite swells and rots if continuously exposed to the elements.

  • The Miracle Resource Eco-Link
    Since 1989 Eco-Link Linking Social, Economic, and Ecological Issues The Miracle Resource Volume 14, Number 1 In the children’s book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein the main character is shown to beneÞ t in several ways from the generosity of one tree. The tree is a source of recreation, commodities, and solace. In this parable of giving, one is impressed by the wealth that a simple tree has to offer people: shade, food, lumber, comfort. And if we look beyond the wealth of a single tree to the benefits that we derive from entire forests one cannot help but be impressed by the bounty unmatched by any other natural resource in the world. That’s why trees are called the miracle resource. The forest is a factory where trees manufacture wood using energy from the sun, water and nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In healthy growing forests, trees produce pure oxygen for us to breathe. Forests also provide clean air and water, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities to renew our spirits. Forests, trees, and wood have always been essential to civilization. In ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq), the value of wood was equal to that of precious gems, stones, and metals. In Mycenaean Greece, wood was used to feed the great bronze furnaces that forged Greek culture. Rome’s monetary system was based on silver which required huge quantities of wood to convert ore into metal. For thousands of years, wood has been used for weapons and ships of war. Nations rose and fell based on their use and misuse of the forest resource.

The mixingratios of lignocellulosics fibers was 20% which is from okra and tobaccos talks, hazelnut and walnuts hell, and pinecone for each mixture in preformed panel and commercially- manufactured-chip was 100 % for the control sample. A commercial ureaformaldehyde (UF) adhesive was used as a binder. The physical and mechanical properties such as density, thickness swelling (TS), bending strength (BS), modulus elasticity (MOE), internalbond (IB), screw holding ability (SHA) perpendicular to the plane of panel, Janka hardness perpendicular to the plane of panel properties of MDF were measured.The results indicated that all the panels met the general purpose-use requirements of TS-EN. Thus, our results suggest that biomass from different sources can be an alternative raw material for MDF manufacturing process. KEYWORDS: Lignocellulosic biomass, MDF, physical and mechanical properties. 615 WOOD RESEARCH INTRODUCTION The demand in forest products industry is increasing with population and new product development.

    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.

  • Designing and Establishing a Fine Hardwood Timber Plantations
    DESIGNING AND ESTABLISHING A FINE HARDWOOD TIMBER PLANTATION James R. McKenna and Lenny D. Farlee1 Abstract.—Today, new tools and lessons learned from established plantations of black walnut and other fine hardwoods can provide landowners with guidelines to design and establish successful plantations to produce quality timber for the future. From earlier plantations now maturing, we can recognize design features critical during establishment. Current production practices combined with improved tools, ongoing genetic improvement, and lessons learned from various spacing and species mixes make it possible to establish higher quality timber plantations today than previously possible. We summarize new tools for assessing the suitability of soils to grow good walnut and present plantation design strategies to enhance the quality of walnut mixed with other hardwoods to minimize risk if walnut does not grow well. We also include design details that can enhance the aesthetic quality of the land and expand wildlife habitat. As world population increases and available forest new growers will find the background information, lands diminish, timber plantations hold the promise planning considerations, and descriptions of to produce a greater quantity of wood per acre than techniques needed to establish a successful plantation. natural forests (Sedjo 1999, Sedjo and Botkin 1997).
