Wood Science, from Canadian Woodworking, explores the nature of wood and shows how that understanding leads to better design, improved techniques, and more stable, longer-lasting projects.
Solutions to cross-grain problems
Here is a look at how to properly make breadboard ends, and a couple of examples of cross-grain solutions. Use them in your woodworking projects to give your furniture that finished look and avoid cross-grain problems.
In this article we cover how wood science affects doors, specifically the frame-and-panel design.
We look at why table tops split, crack and warp - and what you can do to prevent this from happening.
We didn’t invent wood. We invented plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, medium density fibreboard, and a whole host of other materials, but wood, in its simplest form, was not invented by us.
Wood cuts and how they react to moisture
In this article we cover how moisture affects the shape of these different cuts.
Wood cuts and where they come from
The first thing to understand is that any species of wood can be cut in any one of these ways.
There have been various types of wafer boards around for some time now. These would include particleboard (MDF) and oriented strand boards (OSB).
