The scientific name for pines is Pinus. For pines are members of the Pinaceae family. The specific epithet indicates what type of pine wood it is. For example, the wood of the Eastern white pine is called Pinus strobus.

There are no animals made of glue. -There are also very few glues made of animals. In general only a few specialised woodworking glues are made from animal parts and are mainly used in antique restoration.

Oak and Maple are hardwoods Pine And Fir are soft woods

Bianbai wood comes from the tree Platycladus Orientalis (generic Chinese arborvitae), a large evergreen shrub or small to medium-sized tree. The common name for this tree is Book-Leaf Pine. This tree is native to China, Japan, Taiwan, and parts of the Republic of Russia and the Ukraine. It can be successfully grown--although considered an exotic--in such diverse areas as Poland, Iran, France, New Zealand, and Hawaii, USA, as it is a hardy tree and tolerates a wide variety of soil types and climate conditions.

DESCRIPTION and BIOLOGY:

P. orientalis rarely exceeds the height of 20m in nature; cultivated, it often forms multiple stems with a dense habit, usually broadly conical with ascending branches from bare stems. Leaves are light green or yellow-green, becoming brown after 3 or 4 seasons, persistent, scale-like, in opposite-decussate pairs, and have no glands.

Pollen cones terminal, small (2-3 mm long), seed cones 20-25 mm long, 10-18mm wide when closed, glaucous green at first, turning reddish-brown, usually have 6-8 fleshy scales in an opposite-decussate arrangement, with a deeply recurved dorsal hook below the tip of each scale; this protuberance is the apical part of the bract, around which the fleshy scale develops after the ovules are fertilized, to nearly engulf the bract; scales glaucous when growing, maturing and ripening to bright brown; lower 4 scales fertile with 2-3 seeds occurring adaxially near the base of the lowest pair, only

one on the upper pair.

Seeds 5-7mm long, 3-4mm diameter, more or less ovate, wingless. Seed-bearing begins, on average, at 3 years.

This is a monotypic genus; the generic name comes from the Greek word platyclados (with a broad stem). The Greek word results in two English words plate and clad which conjures up the image of plates arranged in a rack as the tree's foliage appears when viewed from afar. The peculiar arrangement of upright branchlets and flattened lateral twigs gives this tree its unusual leafing habit and explains the origin of its common name (Book-Leaf Pine).

PRODUCTS:

Timber: Wood close-grained and knotty, heartwood dark brown, sapwood white or cream. The timber is used for gateposts and furniture.

Medicine: Parts of P. orientalis were previously used to treat scurvy. Leaf extracts have been shown to inhibit bacterial growth.

Essential Oils: Leaves, wood, bark, and seed shells of have been steam-distilled, and the resulting essential oils and their constituents analysed by GC/MS (mass spectrometry). Essential oils from leaves and seed shells have been found to contain more than 20 mono- and sesqui-terpenes, the most important being alpha-pinene (constituting 40% of the oil), DELTA3-carene, and cedrol.

Other: Seeds from P. orientalis contain terpenoids.

Uses:

Ornamental: The Chinese arbovitae is planted in many gardens, especially for its striking pale green foliage with odd-looking glaucous cones.

Boundary, Barrier, or Support: It tolerates pruning and is therefore used as a hedge plant.

Other: This tree is highly esteemed in mystical Chinese folklore, and was planted within tombs of ancient emperors. It's seeds were also placed within the caskets. More recently, P. orientalis has become popular as a hiking staff/walking stick.

That depends on what you consider 'high quality'. Do you value beauty, strength, suppleness, ability to last a long time, ability to produce best heat in a fire? Different woods for different purposes.

Place in a vice or place on a sturdy bench/ground and rest your knee on it while you drill.

White oak is used for interior finish and furniture making.

It is heavy, strong, hard, tough, close grained and capable of taking a high polish.

No. Oil paint has organics in it that attract fungus and mildew. Use latex and add an additive that will help stop any growth.

A chipboard is built by wood pieces glued and compressed together. There are three types of chipboards - normal density, high density, medium density. Normal density chipboards are fairly soft, high density chipboards are solid and hard, and medium density chipboards are in between.

The advantages of a chipboard are that they are cheaper than other manufactured boards, as they have a smooth texture and do not require much tooling. Also, their wood fibers do not run uniformly down the length of wood, so chipboards don't splinter easily.

However, the disadvantage is that when waterlogged, the wood fibers of chipboards swell, giving the piece of wood a bloated, bumpy texture.

This is all I know about chipboard, I hope you understood what I said and thank you if you commented.

The value of petrified wood is what someone will pay for it. Large segments of logs with bark included, and colorful interiors could be worth thousands; small pieces that are unattractive, worth next to nothing.

It is lightweighted

Woodworkers use tools that show the moisture content in a piece of wood. If a piece of wood has too much moisture in it, it could warp or crack after it had been used to make a piece of furniture, or whatever, and in effect, ruin the project.

Wood can also be tested for the presence of metal, such as an old nail that once held up a clothes line. Such a test could prevent the destruction of an expensive bit or blade, or a power tool from kicking back, (called kickback), which poses a danger to the woodworker.

It is a timber used where a hard wearing surface is required.

I have seen it being used on the back of platform lorries.

Aromatic cedar would be the first thought. One, it has a natural moisture equiliberant about it, and two, natural aromatic ceder tends to fend-off, deter, critters. Moths, ants, termites and other assorted, sundry,detrimental varmits that depend on fabric and material for staple.

There may be something better

you can cut a hole in wood using a special drill attachment. alternatively you could drill a hole then cut a hole with a jigsaw

If its a deeep stain, remove door, sand it down and repaint.

If not, a small paint chipper can usaually chip it off.

hope this helps

No, compared to hardwood, soft wood is much cheaper

The best places to use wood frames include picture frames and garden frames. You can purchase wooden pictures frames online from websites such as Amazon.

A hand planer is used to remove only a few fractions of a millimeter of wood from a piece of lumber (wood) to reveal a smooth surface.

The plane consists of a sharp blade held in a flat based carrier designed to give a flat, smooth contact with the work piece.

Many different trees give us wood. Certain ones grow more slowly, yet have desireable qualities like strength, high density or beautiful appearance, thus they tend to produce more expensive wood. Pine is a soft and inexpensive wood that comes from the pine tree. Hickory, walnut and oak are pricier, more durable. Most trees can be used for wood, some of which is, of course, used to make paper.

From what I can tell, fabric is usually converted by using a factor of 18.

So, 1 yard of fabric = 18 square feet of fabric.

Note that this rule ONLY applies to fabric. For almost all other materials (carpet, tile, wallpaper, etc) you would use SQUARE yards and square feet, and this uses a factor of 9 (ie. 9 sqft =1 sqyd).

Hope this helps.
