The document discusses various types of defects that can occur in timber/wood, including defects due to natural forces, conversion, fungi, insects, and seasoning. It also discusses characteristics of good timber and provides examples of wood products commonly used in construction and furniture like veneer, plywood, particle board, and laminated wood. Finally, it discusses how timber can be used for furniture, walls/ceilings, flooring, panelling, and decking in home design.

The terms “hardwood” and “softwood” are often misleading because they have no direct relation to the actual physical hardness or softness of the wood, so that a hardwood may actually be softer than a softwood.

2. INTRODUCTION
Wood can be considered the best
natural building material.
Timber is that sort of wood which is
proper for buildings or for tools,
utensils, furniture, etc. Technically the
wood of growing trees which can
support loads and suitable for
construction purposes is known as
timber.
Timber is used for making doors,
windows, ventilators, shelves, rafters,
reapers, floors, etc. During
construction, it is also used for
formwork, etc.
3. Defects in Timber
The main defects caused in timber are:-
Defects due to NATURAL FORCES
Defects due to CONVERSION
Defects due to FUNGI
Defects due to INSECTS
Defects due to SEASONING
4. Defects due to NATURAL
FORCES:-
These are caused basically due to
abnormal growth and rapture of tissues.
Following are the defects caused by these
forces:-
Burls-
These are formed when a tree has
received injury or shock in its young age.
Due to such injury, the growth of tree gets
completely upset and irregular projections
appear on the body of the timber.
5. Chemical Stain:-
Due to chemical action by some
external agency, wood is sometimes
discoloured. This is known as
chemical stain.
Coarse Grain:-
If a tree grows rapidly, annual rings
are widened. It is known as coarse
grained timber and such timber
possesses less strength.
Dead Wood:-
Timber which is obtained from dead
standing trees contains dead wood.
It is indicated by light weight and
reddish colour.
6. Knots:-
Knots are the remains of outgrowing branches of
a tree. Their grain runs at an angle to that of the
main timber and where the knots are large and
numerous the fibres are distorted and the
strength of the timber much reduced.
7. Defects due to Conversion:-
During the process of converting timber
to commercial form, the following defects
may occur:-
Chip mark: this defect is indicated by
the marks or signs placed by chips on
the finished surface of timber
Diagonal grain: improper sawing of
timber
Torn grain: when a small depression
is made on the finished surface due to
falling of some tool
Wane: presence of original rounded
surface on the finished surface
8. Defects due to Fungi:-
Wood with less than 25% moisture
remains free of fungi for centuries.
Similarly, wood submerged in water will
not be attacked by fungi because of
absence of air.
Fungi attacks timber when these
conditions are all present:
1. The timber moisture content is above
25%
2. The environment is warm enough
3. There is lots of air
9. Defects due to Insects :-
Insects responsible for the decay of timber:-
Beetles- These are small insects. They form pin holes
and form tunnels in all directions. They convert timber
into fine powder.
Marine borers- These are found in marine water. They
do not feed on wood. They dig holes or form tunnels for
shelter and the wood looses colour and strength.
Termites- Popularly known as white ants, these insects
are found in tropical and sub-tropical countries. They
feed on wood inside out, form tunnels and live in
colonies. They usually do not disturb out shell. Good
timbers like teak, sal, etc are not attacked by termites.
10. Defects due to Seasoning :-
Bow: Bending of timber along its
length.
Case hardening: Due to quick
drying of exposed surface, internal
tension develop irregular cracks
known as case hardening.
Check: Check A check is a crack
along the length of a board which
may be very small and therefore not
a serious weakness.
Collapse: Flattening of wood on
drying due to uneven shrinkage.
11. Cup: Bending of wood or
formation of curvature in the
transverse direction.
Honey combining: Development
of internal cracks due to drying
Radial shakes: These are radial
cracks.
Split: These are checks over the
entire length of timber.
Twist: It is a spiral distortion
along its length.
Warp: Twisting of timber in a
small portion.
12. Wood Products
Following are the few products of wood which are
widely used for furniture, partitions, etc.:
1. Veneer
2. Plywood
3. Particle board
4. Laminated wood
13. Veneer-
Veneer refers to thin slices of wood,
usually thinner than 3 mm (1/8 inch),
that typically are glued onto core
panels (typically, wood, particle board
or medium-density fibreboard) to
produce flat panels such as doors etc.
Walnut is a very suitable wood for
veneering.
Plywood-
Plywood is a manufactured wood
panel made from thin sheets of wood
veneer. It is one of the most widely
used wood products.
14. Plywood is commercially
available in thickness ranging
from 4mm 25mm
Particle Board-
Particleboard is a composite
product of wood manufactured
from wood particles, such as
wood chips, sawmill shavings,
or even saw dust, and a
synthetic resin or other suitable
binder.
it is rarely used outdoors or
places that have high levels of
moisture.
15. Laminated Board-
Laminated wood is an
engineered wood product
composed of thin layers of
wood, or veneers, that are
glued together to make a
stronger wood product.
The inner core consists of
wooden strips of thickness not
exceeding 7mm.
16. Characteristics of a Good Timber
Following are the characteristics or qualities of a
good timber:-
It should be free from sap and be from heart of a
sound tree.
It should have straight and close fibres.
It should give a clear ringing sound when struck.
Dull heavy sound is a sign of internal decay.
It should be of uniform dark colour. Light colour
usually indicates timber with low strength.
It should have regular annual rings.
17. Timbers with narrow annual rings are generally
the strongest.
Freshly cut surface should give sweet smell.
It should have bright and smooth surface when
planed. Dull appearance is a sign of defective
timber.
Teeth of saw should not get clogged while
sawing.
Out of same variety of timber, darker and heavier
pieces are stronger.
It should be free from dead knots, from too many
knots, shakes or other defects.
It should have firm adhesion of fibres and
compact medullary rays.
18. A good timber should be durable. It should be
capable of resisting the actions of fungi,
insects, chemicals etc.
A good timber should be capable of retaining
its shape during conversion or seasoning. It
should not bow or warp or split.
A good timber should be capable of offering
resistance to shocks due to vibrations.
19. Furniture:- Whether this is buying in or
creating from scratch, furniture is a
fundamental aspect of interior design. From
chairs and tables, to sideboards and
bookcases, the furniture a homeowner
chooses is very much a reflection of their
personality.
Walls/Ceilings - Decorating the walls and
ceilings of a home can be as simple as a
quick paint job, or as complicated as altering
the layout of a property via the creation and
demolition of said walls and ceilings. In this
case, you may find that timber is an ideal
material for strengthening structural integrity,
as well as being aesthetically pleasing.
20. Flooring - This is definitely an area
of design that's especially suited to
wood. Whilst carpeted rooms are
still very much in use, many people
are having wooden floors installed
to increase the value of their homes.
Solid wooden floors are
aesthetically pleasing, offering the
best of modern chic combined with
a timeless beauty. They are also
easy to maintain and complement
most (if not all) design choices.
Another great advantage is that,
when properly maintained, they can
potentially last a very long time.
21. Panelling - Ideal for both external
and internal home design,
panelling (also known as
cladding) provides a professional
and visually stimulating way to
add on to the exterior of fixtures.
The benefits extend beyond how
it looks. Wooden panelling is
renewable, consumes less
energy and any carbon retained
by the tree's growth is locked into
the timber - making it an ideal
choice for the environmentally-
minded homeowner.
22. Decking - With more and more
people staying at home, the garden
is becoming a place to be. Decking
is proving very popular as terraces,
roof gardens and balconies are
being incorporated into home
design. Softwood is a very common
material in decking.
