Natural Woods

Wood is fiberous with fibres running along the length of the trunk.

55% cellulose
28% lignin resin

Timber is therefore a natural reinforced polymer.

1. Harvesting: Cutting down the tree in the forest

2. Conversion: Cutting the trunk and large branches into boards, slab and quarter sawn.

3. Seasoning: Reduce the moisture content either naturul or kiln seasoned.

4. Board pred: Sawing to size and planing; PAR - Planed All Round.

Quarter Sawn:

With quarter sawn there is more waste, but the sheets are more stable and less liable to warp. They also show much nicer grain structures.

Slab Sawn:

Slab sawing causes the wood to warp a lot more, but doesnt create as much waste.

When wood is sawn it is cut in inches, and when it is planed it is done in CM.
