Reforestation Woods Natural Glue What natural adhesive material holds wood fibers together? Lignin New wood cells are formed in what layer? Draw and label the Photo to the right. Cambium When combined, the bands of springwood and summerwood form what? Annual Rings The age of most trees can be determined by counting the number of annual rings. Trees and lumber can be divided into what two main classes? A. Softwoods B. Hardwoods What is the scientific What is the scientific name for hardwood name for Softwood trees? trees? Deciduous Coniferous Softwood is a product of cone-bearing trees. Red Cedar The brilliant color, distinctive aroma and the moth- repelling qualities of Tennessee Red Cedar make this the ideal wood for chests and closet linings, or for the lining of chests made of other woods. Softwood is a product of cone-bearing trees. Pine Ponderosa Pine is a very large pine tree of variable habit native to western North America, but widespread throughout the temperate world. This softwood is known for its rustic, knotty appearance and is commonly seen in warm cabins in both the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains. Softwood is a product of cone-bearing trees. Fir Mixed grain Douglas Fir is a resilient timber with a high strength to weight ratio. It has been widely used for various construction projects for centuries. Vertical grain Fir offers a uniform, straight grain beauty that you don't get with the mixed grain. Designers and architects appreciate VG Fir as an ideal wood for doors and windows. Hardwood comes from broad-leaf trees. Alder West coast hardwood, Alder is close grained, of medium- soft texture, light honey colored and may easily be stained to resemble practically any of the most expensive hardwoods. Hardwood comes from broad-leaf trees. Hickory Hickory is a close-grained hardwood, used for furniture and wall paneling. The heartwood is reddish-brown with occasional darker streaks and the sapwood is creamy white. Pecan/Hickory grows from the Mississippi River Valley North through Illinois. Ask us about our Calico Hickory, which is a unique natural blend of blonde sapwood and golden heartwood. Hardwood comes from broad-leaf trees. Poplar Poplar is an evenly textured and straight grained wood. Its heartwood has a pale, canary color with a distinctive greenish cast. Poplar is the most widely used wood for paintable surface in the United States. Great value on this highly abundant specie. Hardwood comes from broad-leaf trees. Cherry The close even texture and beauty of Cherry have made it synonymous with fine furniture since colonial times. Although grown in widely separated areas of the world, our own American Black Cherry is matchless for quality. Hardwood comes from broad-leaf trees. Wormy Maple Ambrosia Maple is technically not a specific species of Maple, but rather a general description of any type of Maple that has been infested by ambrosia beetles. The beetles bore into the tree, and with it bring fungus that discolors the wood. Hardwood comes from broad-leaf trees. Maple Maple needs no introduction as it has long been one of our most popular hardwoods. Also known as “Sugar Maple,” this fine white stock is selected especially for lack of mineral streaks. Many of our stores also stock Curly, Quilted and Birdseye Maple. Open Grain Hardwoods open-grained or Oak (Red or White) porous wood Describe the open-grained Walnut woods from the following list. Mahogany Ash Open Grain Hardwoods Red Oak The heartwood resembles other Oaks with a biscuit to pink color, but has a reddish tinge. Mostly straight grained and coarse textured, with less figure than White Oak due to smaller rays. Used for furniture, flooring, interior joinery, and veneers. Not suitable exterior uses. Open Grain Hardwoods White Oak White Oak varies in color from pale yellow-brown to biscuit with pinkish tint. Quarter sawing brings out the ray fleck in the Oak that you do not see in flat sawn boards. Straight grain, with medium bending and crushing strengths make this excellent steam bending material. Used in everything from boat-building to turnery. Open Grain Hardwoods Mahogany This tropical African hardwood resembles Genuine Mahogany and is often substituted. Color varies from light to deep reddish-brown. Machines and finishes well. Open Grain Hardwoods Ash This fine cabinet Ash is medium in texture, is easy to work and to finish, and is one of the most popular hardwoods for cabinetry and furniture. Open Grain Hardwoods Walnut Walnut has a beautiful grain, rich brown in color, and a hard, smooth texture. Moderately heavy, very strong for its weight and exceptionally stable, it is our finest domestic furniture wood. Logging Practices Two Methods of Harvesting Trees List the two distinct methods of harvesting trees for lumber production. A. Selective Cutting B. Clear Cutting Head Saw Video The manner in which the head saw cuts through the log initially determines most of the appearance and strength of the resulting lumber. Lumber Cutting Identify the two most common methods of cutting logs into lumber by referring to the following illustrations A. Plan Or Flat Sawn B. Quarter Sawn Drying Lumber Freshly sawn lumber is referred to as rough because it has not been planned or sized to the finish thickness. Drying Lumber Excess moisture must be removed from greenwood by drying or seasoning it. How is this done? Drying Lumber A large oven-type device used to dry lumber is called what? Kiln Drying Lumber What are the two methods of drying lumber? A. Kiln B. Air Drying Name the natural wood Defects shown in class. A. Knots Name the natural wood Defects shown in class. A. Knots B.

Pests or disease Defects “ Natural” What are the small cracks in the end grain of a board that are at right angles to the annual rings? Check Shrinkage and Swelling approximately one-half as much radially across the rings, and minimal (between 0.1% and 0.2%) longitudinally along the grain. Many variables affect dimensional change. Shrinkage values differ not only for different wood species, but also between and within trees of the same species. Shrinkage also may vary slightly depending on the drying conditions: low or high temperatures, rapid or slow drying, or drying with or without restraint.

Twist Lumber Storage Most defects that occur after falling a tree can be avoided if the wood is dried and stored properly prior to use. Lumber Gradeing Lumber Grading Lumber grading is the term applied to evaluating the quality and usability of a board. Lumber Grading A FAS This grade is nearly always shipped with FAS. The better face must meet all FAS requirements while the poor face must meet all the requirements of the Number 1 Common grade, thus ensuring the buyer with at least one FAS face. Often export shipments are assembled with an 80-20 mix, 80% being the percentage of FAS boards and 20% being the percentage of F1F boards. These percentages are strictly left to individual buyer and seller agreement. Lumber Grading B Select This grade is virtually the same as F1F except for the minimum board size required. Selects allow boards 4" and wider and 6' and longer in length. The Selects grade is generally associated with the northern regions of the USA and is also shipped in combination with the FAS grade. Lumber Grading C #1 Com The Number 1 Common grade is often referred to as the Cabinet grade in the USA because of its adaptability to the standard sizes of kitchen cabinet doors used throughout the United States. Number 1 Common is widely used in the manufacture of furniture parts as well for this same reason. The Number 1 Common grades includes boards that are a minimum of 3" wide and 4' long and will yield clear face cuttings from 662⁄3% (8⁄12ths) up to, but not including, the minimum requirement for FAS (831⁄3%). The smallest clear cuttings allowed are 3" by 3' and 4" by 2'. The number of these clear cuttings is determined by the size of the board. Both faces of the board must meet the minimum requirement for Number 1 Common. G2S & G4S G2S = Good Two Sides This means the board has a jointed edge on the board and it has been ripped parallel G4S = Good Four Sides This means the board has a jointed edge on the board and it has been ripped parallel & it has been surfaced on the both Sides (Face of the board) Veneer Lumber A veneer is a thin sheet of wood that is peeled or sliced to a thickness ranging from _______ to . 1/100th to ¼” Veneer List the three methods used to produce veneer. A. Plain Slicing B. C. Veneer List the three methods used to produce veneer.

  • ALTERNATIVE WOODS for GUITAR CONSTRUCTION
    ALTERNATIVE WOODS for GUITAR CONSTRUCTION and other string fretted instruments by DAVID A. G. FREEMAN Luthier Prepared for Lecture at Metiers d’art de lutherie Quebec City, Quebec February 24,2013 Alternative Woods My intent tonight is to discuss what is desired in a wood to make it suitable for Instrument construction. This is from my own experimenting and research as well as discussions with other Luthiers. In order to understand what might be desirable in alternative woods one must first understand what the properties of a traditional wood are that contribute to the acoustics of instruments. Then one might look for woods that have similar qualities to achieve similar responses. To this end there is more than one variable, so it is important to have a clear concept of the sound one wants to achieve before you start. The other aspect you want to understand is what you are trading away, be it in sound, or structure, or aesthetics versus what you are gaining by using another wood species. Perhaps economics may also be considered in this balance. We live in an age when all musicians are not connoisseurs of resonant tone wood and want a less expensive instrument to carry on tours or play on the street. The other end of this spectrum is a collector that wants incredibly figured woods that still deliver a good tone. So be aware of the purpose of your choice to use a wood not traditionally found on an instrument. This helps you accept any acoustic changes that might occur. Woods can be tested with some science though many of the properties become relative to other species.

W. Sandberg Stockholm Doctoral Thesis KTH-Royal Institute of Technology Dept of Manufacturing Systems 1998 Wood Technology and Processing SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Abstract This thesis is a contribution to the R&D-program Value Activation at KTH- Trä. Two main aspects can be distinguished in the thesis. (i) A documentation and description of star-sawing technology from the initial idea to the first industrial plant. (ii) A description of research results within the fields of wood science and production technology, obtained during the development of the star-sawing technique. The two aspects are strongly linked to each other. The relation between ideas, scientific basis of the ideas and development results, the development of production technology and systems, and the dissemination of knowledge and technology transfer from all levels to the industrial implementation are described. The way in which all these development stages are connected in this work is also discussed. The thesis presents a new sawing technique developed at KTH, Div. of Wood Technology and Processing (KTH-Trä). The star-sawing concept, i.e. the sawing of the log according to the star-sawing pattern and the further refinement of the sawn product into PrimWood are described in detail. Experimental results are presented concerning different material properties of timber in general and of timber with vertical annual rings in particular.

  • WOOD VENEERS Bring the Warmth and Sophistication of Real Wood to Your Next Cab Interior Project
    Elevator Interior Panel and Ceiling Systems www.ECRcabs.com WOOD VENEERS Bring the warmth and sophistication of real wood to your next cab interior project. ECR has extensive experience working with wood veneer to help our clients achieve their desired design outcomes. We will work closely with you from initial selection through application to ensure your project meets your expectations and budget. Background Wood veneers and colours can have infinite permutations and vary from the exotics to the common, open or closed grain, hard or soft woods and a range of stain colors. Selection can be further complicated, and price increased with more exotic woods, desire for specific logs or flitch lots and complex layouts such as diagonal and diamond patterns. What follows is a good primer if you are considering a wood veneer finish and want to work within a reasonble budget: 1. Select a common hardwood with a Cut examples closed grain A readily available North American hard wood with a closed grain will reduce cost and make for a durable, even surface once installed. Examples of this type of wood include cherry, maple and walnut. 2. Select a cut Rotary Cut Quarter Cut The cut refers to how a slice of veneer is harvested from a log. Assembly examples Various cuts produce differing patterns and affects. Although we can accommodate specific cut requests, for most cabs we recommend selecting a quarter cut. 3. Choose the assembly method This is how the slices or cuts mentioned above are attached together to form a sheet. Examples of assembly methods are: Slip Match Slip, Random, and Book match.
