Why is it important to sand down wood before a finish is applied?
Sanding wood is removes scratches from your piece of timber. Start with a rough piece of sand paper (120) and work up to finer grains (160, 240, 320, and finally 400). Sanding down our wood will give your timber a smooth feel and will the the grain easier to see. Sanding is especially important if you are using a figured piece of timber as it makes the beauty of the timber more prominent. Always sand to ensure that your produce the highest quality product
Where is timber found in Washington?
Timber in Washington is mostly found in Maple Valley.
How is timber different from other wood?
Timber is just another name for wood, In practice wood in its rough form is usually refered to as timber, tree trunks unprocessed are probably timber in it's purest form. In a house unfinished wood ( generally found in the roof and beneath the floor) is referred to as timber e.g. roof timbers or floor timbers/joists. Timber which has been planed (smoothed) and finished off e.g. skirting boards and window sills are referred to as 'joinery' grade or finished, they are still however timber and the difference is a discriptive reference rather than a physical difference.
What is the use of timber?
build stuff
What is timber tongue?
a wooden tongue
Is wood stronger along the grain or across the grain?
Timber is stronger across the grain than along the grain.
How does the direction of the grain affect the strenght of a place of timber?
The direction of the grain in timber significantly impacts the strength of the wood. Wood is strongest along the grain, so a piece of timber with the grain running parallel to the load will be stronger than if the grain runs perpendicular to the load. This is because the fibers in the wood provide more support and resistance to forces acting along the grain.
How do you test timber?
In many ways, firstly for grain quality. Age, type of timber, dampness/dryness
Why timber used parallel to the grain is stronger than timber used perpendicular to the grain?
Timber used parallel to the grain is stronger because its cellular structure is optimized for tensile strength along the grain direction, allowing it to effectively bear loads. The wood fibers are aligned in a way that provides resistance to bending and shearing forces. In contrast, when timber is used perpendicular to the grain, the fibers are more susceptible to splitting and crushing, resulting in reduced strength and stability. This inherent design of wood makes it more resilient when loads are applied along the grain.
What is the English name for rewarewa?
For the tree's timber, a common name is 'honeysuckle'. It is a beautiful timber, carrying a complex grain of ribbons.
What is diagonal grain in related to timber?
Diagonal grain in timber refers to the orientation of the wood fibers that run at an angle to the standard vertical (straight) grain direction. This pattern can occur naturally due to the growth conditions of the tree or can be a result of the milling process. Diagonal grain can impact the strength and stability of the wood, often making it more prone to warping or splitting compared to straight-grained timber. It is important for woodworkers and builders to recognize and account for diagonal grain in their projects.
What are the lines called that you see on all natural timber?
The lines seen on natural timber are called "grain." Timber grain refers to the arrangement and appearance of wood fibers, which can vary significantly between different species of trees. The grain patterns result from the growth rings and the way the wood cells are structured, influencing both the aesthetic and physical properties of the wood.
What products did the Greeks exchange?
In exchange, the Greeks got grain, timber, and metal.
Why timber used parallel to grain is stronger than perpendicular to the grain?
they resist stress and spread the load over the length of the board
How was fish importanat to the Greeks?
The Greeks traded fish for products such as grain timber flax.
