Track 7
Deeper anatomy, chemistry, degradation, and engineering behaviour. For learners who want the underlying wood science.
10 guides · Coming soon in this track
Wood Anatomy in DetailComing soon
Wood behaves the way it behaves because it is built the way it is built.
Cellular Structure of SoftwoodsComing soon
Once you understand the softwood system — tracheids, earlywood/latewood, pits, and resin — you can predict how a pine board will behave before you even pick up a plane.
Cellular Structure of HardwoodsComing soon
Woodworkers feel the hardwood system long before they can name it.
Rays and ParenchymaComing soon
Rays and parenchyma rarely get the attention that vessels and fibres do.
Extractives and Wood ChemistryComing soon
Wood is not just cellulose and lignin arranged into fibres.
Wood Degradation ProcessesComing soon
Some are reversible (a greyed surface can be cleaned back).
Mechanical Testing of TimberComing soon
It is a family of behaviours under different loads.
Modulus of Elasticity ExplainedComing soon
MOE is one of the most misunderstood numbers in wood.
