Wood is a natural material. Wood and stone were the first materials that man used. Wood has been used to light a fire,
to make wood weapons, to build boats, houses, etc. Some of these things are still used today.
   
Wood. Actual relevance. Parts.
Processing. Features. (II)
Bark: the outer trunk´s part. It
is a protector of the trunk..
Medullary Rays: they are cracks
from the center outwards.
Medulla: the inner trunk's part.
Heartwood: the best quality
part.
Sapwood: part of the trunk with life. It´s the
youngest part of the wood. Its colour is light. It
has a lot of sap.
   
Wood. Actual relevance. Parts.
Processing. Features. (III)
Features:
density d = m / V
hardness H
resistance to traction, compression and bending
T, C, F (fiber direction)
conductivity (th.&el.)
durability (moisture, hygroscopicity, fungus, rot)

Processing:

Planks, boards, beams, etc
After cutting the wood, It´s necesary to dry in order to evaporate the sap
and the water. The wood is stacked to allow air to flow. It is faster with hot air
The trees are cut in the winter, because they have less sap. •The tools to cut trees were the axe and the hand saw.
•The tools used today are the chainsaw Wood and big machines that cut and raise the trunk quickly.

Working with wood
measure and draw
saw
smoothen (sand) drill
join and fix (glue, nail, screw)
finish
(wax, varnish, paint, ink, lack)
Rip saw, backsaw and hacksaw. Wood Power Tools: circular saw, jigsaw and table saw.

Types of wood. Samples.
Poplar = chopo
Walnut = nogal
Oak = roble
Birch = abedul
Cherry = cerezo
Pine = pino
Ebony = ébano
Fir = abeto
Soft wood: resinous and evergreen trees, they
are easy to work with (pine, fir, poplar…)
Hard wood: deciduous trees like oak , walnut, ebony,…

Derivative products (I)(cardboard, paper).
   
Derivative products (II) (plywood,
chipboard, fiber board).
Artificial Boards: • Cheaper and bigger sizes than natural wood. • Completely flat and smooth. • Will not rot
and it´s termite resistant.
Plywoods: Made with wood sheets with perpendicular fibers and are stuck together. These boards always
have an uneven number of sheets.
Chipboards: Made with glued and pressed wood shavings.
We can paste plastic or natural wood sheets together to
get a wood best finish quality.
Fiber Boards: We can get them from
wood fibers pressed together at
high pressure and temperature,
glued with synthetic resin
(DM) or natural resin
(tablex).
