25
is applied to the operations performed in preparing the wood for commercial purposes
lumbering
26
process of cutting logs into commercial sizes of lumber
sawing
27
methods and manner of log sawing are
plain and bastard sawing quarter or rift sawing
28
4 ways of quarter or rift sawing
radial tangential quarter tangential combined radial and tangential
29
irregularities found in wood
defects
30
classification of defects in wood
natural defects seasoning defects due to deterioration
31
are radial cracks originating at the heart of the logs commonly found in old trees
heart shakes
32
is the separation of the rings in a piece of wood that occurs as it dries
wind shakes or cup shakes
33
are composed of several heart shakes which radiates from the center of the log in star-like manner
star shakes
34
occurs at the stsrting point of a limb oŕ branch of the wood
knots
35
4 types of natural defects
heart shakes wind shakes or cup shakes star shakes knots
36
4 classification of knots
pin knota small knots medium knots large knots
37
:caused by faulty techniques of seasoning :different types of permanent distortion of timber and ruptures of tissues separately or together
seasoning defects
38
types of seasoning defects
warping check split wane crook
39
Types of warping
cupping bow twist
40
the distortion in convented timber caused departure from its original plane usually during seasoning period
warping
41
:when the board bends edge to edge cross the face pf the boards will look like the letter U :common in boards that are cut close to the pith
cupping
42
a board that bends along the grain lines
bow
43
a board that bends in any variety of direction and cannot maintain a straight line
twist
44
used to describe a crack that runs through a board, usually running lengthwise
check
45
crack extends from face to face of the wood
split
46
the presence of bark or the absence of wood on thr corners of a board
wane
47
board that is bent end to end in the direction of the tall ends of a board as it continues down the length of the board
crook
48
2 types of defects due to deterioration
dry rot wet rot
49
caused by a fungi in a seasoned lumber due to the presence of moisture
dry rot
50
takes place sometime in the growth of the tree caused by water saturation
wet rot
51
is the controllesd process of reducing the moisture content of the timber or lumber so that it is suitable for the environment and intended use
seasoning
52
2 methods of seasoning lumbers
natural or air seasoning artificial seasoning
53
:is the method used with the timbers or lumbers stacked in the open air :considered as one of the best method seasoning timbers and lumbers, although the period involved is relatively longer
natural or air seasoning
54
:is a process wherein the lumber is stacked in a drying kiln and then exposed to steam and hot air :wood from this process undergoes quizck drying and is classified as quite inferior in quality as compared to those lumber seasoned by air seasoning method
artificial seasoning
55
3 artificial seasoning
forced air drying kiln air drying radio frequency dielectric drying
56
is the process of acceleratibg seasoning or achieving faster and more uniform pre-drying prior to kiln drying
forced air drying
57
this process begins with forced air drying or fan drying. it differs from the air dryin in the sense that the process is speededby control of the temperature and humidity, as well as the circulation of air, in a special built of room and chamber
kiln air drying
58
when the electronic disturbance occurs, the innermost molecules begin moving
radio frequency dielectric drying
59
4 common causes of decay in wood are
alternate moisture and dryness fungi and molds insects and worms heat and confined air
60
2 process of preserving wood are as follows
external internal
61
the wood is coated with preservative(as paint) which penetrayes the fiber
external preserving
62
a chemical is integrated as pressure to permeate the wood thoroughly
internal preserving
63
its purpose is to compel additive synthetics profound into the cell construction of the wood
pressure-treated wood
