The AWPA standard retention for CA-B is 0.10 lb/cu ft (1.6 kg/m 3) for above ground applications and 0.21 lb/cu ft (3.4 kg/m 3) for ground contact applications. Type C copper azole, denoted as CA-C, has been introduced under the Wolmanized and Preserve brands.
It is possible to dry 12/4 Red Oak fresh off the saw to 7% in 11 days. Since wood is dried with a vapor gradient - vapor pressure to ambient pressure - humidity can be kept very high. Because of this, a good vacuum kiln can dry 4.5" thick White Oak fresh off the saw to 8% in less than a month, a feat that was previously thought to be impossible.
The earliest known type of infill, called opus craticum by the Romans, was a wattle and daub type construction. [7] Opus craticum is now confusingly applied to a Roman stone/mortar infill as well. Similar methods to wattle and daub were also used and known by various names, such as clam staff and daub, cat-and-clay, or torchis (French), to name ...
Changes in wood moisture content can result in swelling and shrinkage of wood which can stress and crack coatings. Both problems can be avoided by storing wood indoors in an environment where it can equilibriate to a recommended moisture content (6 to 8%) that is similar to that of the intended end use of the furniture.

"The work or shock-resisting ability is greatest in wide-ringed wood that has from 5 to 14 rings per inch (rings 1.8-5 mm thick), is fairly constant from 14 to 38 rings per inch (rings 0.7–1.8 mm thick), and decreases rapidly from 38 to 47 rings per inch (rings 0.5–0.7 mm thick).
In LVL, the direction of the wood grain is always parallel to the length of the billet. [6] The stacking of these veneers into a complete board, called a billet, creates a single piece of LVL sharing a common direction of wood grain. [1] LVL is typically rated by the manufacturer for elastic modulus and allowable bending stress.
Glulam brace with plates used for connections Glulam frame of a roof structure. Glued laminated timber, commonly referred to as glulam, is a type of structural engineered wood product constituted by layers of dimensional lumber bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives so that all of the grain runs parallel to the longitudinal axis.
Ancient Egyptian woodworking. There is significant evidence of advanced woodworking in ancient Egypt. [1] Woodworking is depicted in many extant ancient Egyptian drawings, and a considerable amount of ancient Egyptian furniture (such as stools, chairs, tables, beds, chests) have been preserved.
