Timber Heritage Matching Game When working with towering trees and heavy logs, loggers and millworkers relied on specialized tools to help them with their work. Write the letter of the description of the tool by the tool name. Auger A. A tool with a spike end that is used to roll logs, break jams, pry rocks, tighten chains, and push over trees. Spike Hammer B. A tool used to help in moving logs around. It has a hammer end and the other end is a sharp point to hook into logs. Pickaroon C. An axe with two cutting edges, one thinner for rapid cutting and the other thicker for wood splitting chores. Draw Knife D. A tool with a hog nose end used in sawmills to roll the cant after a board or slab was cut off. A log that has one or more boards cut off it is called a “cant.” Timber Cruiser’s Axe E. A saw blade with a handle at each end used for cutting trees or buck- ing logs. Two-man saws were produced in lengths from4 feet to 12 or even 16 feet. Double Bitted Axe F. This tool was used to bore holes in timbers for threading cables, etc. A wooden shaft was inserted through the ring so two men could turn it. Tail Sawyer’s Hook G. Cruisers determine the volume and value of wood to be removed in the forest. They used small axes to blaze a mark in the bark and to iden- tify the owner of the timber sale. Cross Cut Saw H. A knife with a handle at each end pulled or “drawn” toward the user. It is commonly used to remove slices of wood or to debark trees. Cant Hook I. A heavy hammer used to hammer railroad spikes into “sleepers” or ties. Peavey J. The “tail sawyer” removes cut boards coming through the saw. The hook enables him to move the boards coming off the saw onto the roll- ers. .

A Force of Nature Since 1781

Since the Fahlefeld Bros. established the firm in 1781, the best steel with the best cut has been forged to a maximum quality in the Remscheid factory. An OCHSENKOPF axe stands for top-grade craftsmanship. It is still the pride of the traditional tool industry in “Bergisches Land”. A brand like a myth. Axe-making has been developed over time into a highly modern industrial undertaking. Quality and service have top priority. OCHSENKOPF tools are preferably manufactured of C60 steel. One of its features is its incredible toughness, which guarantees long tool life. Only high-quality wood is used in tool shaft production. Hickory is a high-grade and extremely break-proof wood. Instead of being sharpened to a knife edge, OCHSENKOPF tools are honed to a cambered edge, which results in longer edge life. So much more could be said about the brand considered by professionals to be the be-all and end-all. But basically you have to experience OCHSENKOPF. When working with wood.

Measuring Wood Moisture & Drying Time for Hardwood Tree Species
//////////// extension.umd.edu ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FS—1074 | November 2018 //////////// Measuring Wood Moisture & Drying Time for Hardwood Tree Species Why Measure Wood Moisture The moisture content of wood burned in a wood stove directly impacts the efficiency and emissions. Wood burning efficiency is best when moisture is less than 20% and higher moisture levels reduce the ease and efficiency of burning. Moisture in wood reduces heat output because much of the energy is used to burn off the water in the wood. The burning process with wet wood produces smoke that contains soot which causes deposits Figure 1. Fresh cut oak wood on left and dried oak on in your stovepipe, increasing the chance of a chimney right with wood splitting at ends and discoloration. fire. Smoke is basically unburned wood and includes particulates which means higher emissions and air pollution. Dry wood (20% moisture) burns hot and will provide a long burn which produces little smoke, which translates into low emissions. This will reduce conflicts with neighbors and communities where smoke from wood stoves has become a major problem. How to Measure Wood Moisture Figure 2. Moisture meters available for about $30. The efficiency and emissions of wood stoves is directly General Tools & Instruments on left and A.W Perkins impacted by the moisture content of the firewood used. moisture meter on right. Conventional wisdom states that harvested wood should seasoned. One technique is to look at the splitting, called be split, stacked, covered and allowed to dry for about 6- “checking” of the wood on the ends as an indicator of 12 months after it is cut, or until an internal moisture proper drying (Figure 1).
