There are many decisions that you will make during your renovation project. Choosing the overall look and style for your new space is likely one of your top priorities. It’s also one of the most fun aspects of the project. Whether you’re thinking about a completely new style or just a refresh of something that you love, we know how important it is to find just what you’re looking for. There are a few key areas that you should consider to help you achieve that “right look” for your project. They all have an impact on the final look of your space. You can tackle these in the order that is most important to you. COLOR. Do you want a paint or a stain? Light or dark? Bold or subtle? Do you want a specialty finish that brings a special character to the cabinets? Consider these questions as you begin to look through this brochure and hone in on the color that is right for you. DOOR FEATURES. Do you want a door with a raised or recessed panel? Do you prefer the look of a full or half overlay or a square or roman treatment? With these questions in mind, we offer many unique door features for you to choose, including square, roman, slab, raised and recessed panel options. WOOD TYPE. The wood type you choose can greatly impact how the finish or color appears on the door. Do you want a wood with lots of character like knots and random natural blemishes or do you prefer a wood that is more consistent and the grain less noticeable? DOOR STYLE. Do you want a simple door style or more ornate? Do you want lots of details on the door? Are you looking for something completely different than what you have in your current space or would you like a fresh, new style? Answering these questions early on will help you make decisions more quickly. And, may help you feel more confident in the decisions you make. You can create the space of your dreams with Cardell cabinetry at Menards. To learn more about finishes, door features, wood types and door styles, head over to cardell.com for more information.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A Buyers Guide to Wood Products 2018
    QUALITY FROM FINLAND – WOODPRODUCTS.FI A BUYER’S GUIDE TO WOOD PRODUCTS AN ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE CHOICE Wood is a renewable material. Finland’s sustainably managed for- ests produce considerably more good-quality wood than is used. Annual forest growth is roughly 109,9 million cubic metres, about half of which is used. The limit for sustainable felling is about 70 million cubic metres. When you buy Finnish wood products, you can be sure of the sustainability of your choice. Finnish forest industry companies only use legally acquired wood in their pro- duction. The companies know the origin of the wood. Knowing the origin of the raw material is a prerequisite for the sustainable use of forests. The conservation rate of Finnish forests is unsurpassed in Europe. Finland strictly protects 2,7 million hectares of forest, equivalent to 12 % of its total area of forests. The forest industry supports the use of impartial and widely approved international certification systems. Forest certification can ensure that the fun- damentals for sustainable forest use are in place, and that inter- national comparability is preserved. Of Finland’s commercial forests, more than 95 % is subject to third-party forest certification. Correspondingly, less than 10 % of forests in the rest of the world are certified.

Chev. and Millettia laurentii De Wild. trees. The figures have been analyzed in relation to such cambial growth events as the oriented cellular phenomena in the meristem and the changes taking place during wood cell differentiation. KEYWORDS: Khaya ivorensis, Millettia laurentii, oriented cambial events, storeyed cell arrangement, wood grains. 613 WOOD RESEARCH INTRODUCTION ‘Figure’ is a term, which is used in wood science to describe the appearance of longitudinal surfaces of wood, which is determined partly by the wood grain and partly by the cut and the innate properties of the wood. Wood grains emerge basically from the patterns of growth behavior of cambial cells and the subsequent processes taking place during wood cell differentiation. The different types of figures that appear in the wood are thus related, directly or indirectly, to the oriented morphogenetic events such as the anticlinal cambial cell divisions, intrusive growth of cell tips, elimination of initials, and the splitting and fusion of rays in the left (S) or right (Z) configuration, which are correlative to time and space and become visible on the tangential surface of the cambium (Hejnowicz 1990, 2002).

  • Wood Has a Grain
    THE WAY WOOD WORKS Everything you wanted to know about wood but didn't know what to ask. By Nick Engler ood is a cantankerous substance; there's no two ways about it. It's virtues, of course are legendary. It's attractive, abundant, and easy to work. Pound for pound, it's stronger than steel. W If properly finished and cared for it will last indefinitely. But none of that makes up for the fact that it's a complex — and often perplexing — building material. Unlike metals and plastics, whose properties are fairly consistent, wood is wholly inconsistent. It expands and contracts in all directions, but not at the same rate. It's stronger in one direction than it is in another. Its appearance changes not only from species to species, but from log to log — sometimes board to board. That being so, how can you possibly use this stuff to make a fine piece of furniture? Or a fine birdhouse, for that matter? To work wood — and have it work for you — you must understand three unique properties of wood that affect everything you make: • Wood has grain. • Wood moves more across the grain than along it. • Wood has more strength along the grain than across it. Sounds trite, I know. These are “everyone-knows-that” garden-variety facts. But there is more grist here for your woodworking mill than might first appear. Wood has grain As a tree grows, most of the wood cells align themselves with the axis of the trunk, limb, or root. These cells are composed of long, thin bundles of fibers, about 100 times longer than they are wide.
