A visual emphasis on beams, purlins and connections lends character and a powerful aesthetic sense Construction of strength. Historically a handcrafted skill of mortise and tenon joinery, heavy timber construction has been modernized by tools such as CNC machines, high- strength engineered wood products, and mass-production techniques. A growing environmental awareness that recognizes wood as the only renewable and sustainable structural building material is also invigorating this type of construction. Heavy timbers are differentiated from dimensional lumber by having minimum dimensions required by the building code. Modern versions include sawn stress-grade lumber, timber tongue and groove decking, glued-laminated timber (glulam), parallel strand lumber (PSL), laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and cross laminated timber (CLT). Structural laminated products can be used as solid walls, floors and columns to construct an entire building. Modern heavy timber construction contributes to the appeal, comfort, structural durability and longevity of schools, churches, large-span recreation centers, mid-rise/multi-family housing and supermarkets, among many other buildings.

  • Measurement and Modeling of the In-Plane Permeability of Oriented Strand-Based Wood Composites
    MEASUREMENT AND MODELING OF THE IN-PLANE PERMEABILITY OF ORIENTED STRAND-BASED WOOD COMPOSITES by Chao Zhang B.Sc., Tsinghua University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUiREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Forestry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2009 © Chao Zhang, 2009 Abstract The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of panel density and air flow direction on the in-plane permeability of oriented strand-based wood composites. In- plane permeability is a key factor governing the energy consumption and pressing time during manufacture. The result is expected to provide information which could potentially reduce the pressing time. The thick, oriented strand boards of five densities were made of aspen (Populus tremuloides), and pressed in the laboratory. The production procedure yielded a uniform vertical density profile and good strand orientation. The specimens were sealed in a specially designed specimen holder and connected to a permeability measurement apparatus. The permeability values in parallel, perpendicular, and 45° to the strand orientation were obtained. The results showed that permeability values decreased rapidly as the density increased. The permeability was highest in the parallel-to-strand direction, and lowest in the perpendicular-to-strand direction. The permeability value in 45° direction was between the values of parallel- and perpendicular-to-strand directions. A polynomial equation was fitted to the results and an R2 was between 0.93 8 and 0.993. To examine the void structure changes during the densification, microscopic techniques were employed. Microscopic slides for each density level were prepared with a typical method widely used for petrography, and then investigated with a fluorescence microscope.

  • Allison Lumber Company Collection
    Allison Lumber Company Collection Evan F. Allison (1865 - 1937). In the management of his lands he led the way in Alabama to profitable forest conservation through selective tree cutting and reforestation. He restored species of wildlife indigenous to the area and taught methods for their conservation. - Alabama Hall of Fame, 1961. Although born to a family of limited resources, Evan Allison, with Steve Smith, and a third partner, R.C. Derby (also of Sumter County), established the Allison Lumber Company at Bellamy, AL in 1899. Bellamy was founded as a sawmill town. It was home to Sumter County’s first hospital which was established by the Allison Lumber Company. In 1903, the lumber company built a small frame structure near the site of the hospital to be used as a school (and a church on Sundays). Allison Lumber hired and paid the teachers. Over many decades, Mr. Allison guided the company to a position of leadership in the pine and hardwood industries. He was widely respected and solicited to run for Governor, but he declined. He gained control of wide timber interests and took an active part in the economic development of the state. This collection provides excellent documentation about how a successful business was run in the rural South during the nineteen twenties; banking; job applications; correspondence with the most influential people in the state; World War I restrictions on businesses; the fight to establish wildlife conservation; social customs including the hosting of the elaborate annual hunt – a combination of politics and recreation.

    Cheery Cherry Toy Chest A challenging classic that will last a lifetime We call this a toy chest—but it’s a book case, a knickknack box and a fun place to sit and read. And when your kids are grown, it makes one heck of a fne entry bench. Tis is one of the more challenging projects in the book. It involves biscuit joints, sunken panels and cutting tight curves. Plus, it’s made from cherry— a mistake in this material costs three times as much as a mistake in pine! So, if you’re a beginner, consider sharpening your chops on a couple of other projects before digging into this one. We show two versions of the fnished chest.
