Be sure to leave the protective film on the panel throughout the marking, cutting and machining process to ensure the finish is kept in perfect condition. We strongly recommend avoiding external storage, or extended periods of exposed transport (uncovered flatbed truck). The protective film and adhesive could be damaged, making the removal of film difficult. Storage Splash must be stored in a dry location. For added protection, long term storage should be protected by an additional polyethylene cover. The flatness of the panels could be altered if panels are stored or transported in humid conditions.

  • 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.

  • Woodworking Glossary, a Comprehensive List of Woodworking Terms and Their Definitions That Will Help You Understand More About Woodworking
    Welcome to the Woodworking Glossary, a comprehensive list of woodworking terms and their definitions that will help you understand more about woodworking. Each word has a complete definition, and several have links to other pages that further explain the term. Enjoy. Woodworking Glossary A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | #'s | A | A-Frame This is a common and strong building and construction shape where you place two side pieces in the orientation of the legs of a letter "A" shape, and then cross brace the middle. This is useful on project ends, and bases where strength is needed. Abrasive Abrasive is a term use to describe sandpaper typically. This is a material that grinds or abrades material, most commonly wood, to change the surface texture. Using Abrasive papers means using sandpaper in most cases, and you can use it on wood, or on a finish in between coats or for leveling. Absolute Humidity The absolute humidity of the air is a measurement of the amount of water that is in the air. This is without regard to the temperature, and is a measure of how much water vapor is being held in the surrounding air. Acetone Acetone is a solvent that you can use to clean parts, or remove grease. Acetone is useful for removing and cutting grease on a wooden bench top that has become contaminated with oil. Across the Grain When looking at the grain of a piece of wood, if you were to scratch the piece perpendicular to the direction of the grain, this would be an across the grain scratch.
