Cards Term wood type: ash Definition light colored tough highly elastic, good for furniture or paneling finishes well Term cedar (western) Definition lightweight wood that is easy to work high resistance to decay makes it ideal for siding, decks, shingles Term architectural woodwork Definition also known as "millwork" custom shop fabricated millwork built of lumber includes cabinetry, paneling, custom doors and frames, shelving, custom furniture, and special interior trim Term 3 grades of millwork Definition premium - highest quality in materials, workmanship, and installation custom - the most common grade, still produces a high quality job economy - defines the minimum level of material and workmanship Term modular casework Definition prefab cabinets Term softwood Definition timber from evergreen trees such as pine and fir Term hardwood Definition decidious trees such as oak and maple Term solid stock Definition thick piece of lumber used alone to form some woodwork component Term veneer Definition a thin piece of wood sliced from a log and glued to a backing of particleboard Term plain sawing (flat sawing) Definition makes the most efficient use of the log and is the least expensive results in cathedral pattern Term quarter sawing Definition cutting the log into quarters and then sawing perpendicular to a diameter line uniformly vertical pattern tend to twist and cup less, shrink less in width, hold paint better, have fewer defects Term rift sawing Definition provides a more consistent vertical grain much waste/more expensive/seldom done Term plain slicing for veneer Definition same as plain sawing but much thinner cathedral pattern Term quarter slicing veneer Definition knife strikes the grain at 90 degrees same as quarter sawing Term rotary slicing Definition veneer is cut with a lathe ver pronounced grain pattern often undesirable in high quality finishes most efficient Term half round slicing Definition similiar to rotary slicing but the log is cut in half sows characteristics of rotary and plain sliced veneers Term rift slicing Definition quartering the log and cutting at 15 degree angle to the growth rings results in straight grain pattern commonly used with oak Term flitch Definition the log from which individual veneers come from, flitches are numbered Term thickness for the sides and bottom of most commercial grade base cabinets Definition 3/4" Term door and drawer front construction; flush Definition the face of the drawer or door is installed flush with the face frame *may result in sagging over time Term door and drawer front construction: lipped overlay Definition a variation of flush overlay where part of the door or drawer overlaps the frame and covers the joint between the two pieces Term door and drawer front construction: flush overlay Definition the front of the door or drawer overlaps the face frame of the cabinet, typically with about 1/8" space between door edges *also known as european cabinets Term door and drawer front construction: reveal overlay Definition the edges of adjacent drawer and door fronts are separated enough to reveal the face frame behind *less expensive than flush overlay because minor misalignments and sagging are not noticeable *more traditional Term paneling: stile and rail (or raised) Definition traditional composed of vertical stiles and horizontal rails enclosing a paneled area Term paneling: flush paneling Definition a flat smooth surface with the edges butted together with an eased edge or joined with a reveal Term paneling: veneer matching : book matching Definition most common method, veneers are sliced off the log and every other piece is turned over so that adjacent leaves have a symmetrical pattern Term paneling: veneer matching : slip matching Definition consecutive pieces are placed side by side and the same face sides are exposed creates a rythymic pattern Term paneling: veneer matching : random matching Definition random sequence and even from different flitches Term running match Definition alternates book-matched veneer pieces regardless of their width any portion left over from the last leaf of one panel is used as the starting piece of the next panel Term balance match Definition utilizes veneer pieces that are trimmed to equal widths Term center match Definition even number of veneer leaves of uniform width so that there is a veneer joint in the center of the panel Term panel assembly: warehouse match Definition premanufactured panels of 4'x 8' are assembled from a single flitch that yields 6-12 panels. field cut to fit around dors, windows, & other obstructions *results in some loss of grain continuity Term panel assembly: sequence match Definition uses panels of uniform width manufactured for a specific job with the veneers arranged in sequence *moderate loss of grain continuity Term panel assembly: blueprint matching Definition *most expensive method panels are manufactured to precisely fit the room and line up with every obstruction so grain continuity is not interrupted Term plastic laminate Definition thin sheet of material made from impregnating several layers of kraft paper with phenolic resins and overlaying the paper with a patterned or colored sheet and a layer of melamine resin Term substrates for laminate Definition particleboard, mdf, hardboard, and veneer core -45lb density particleboard most common, most dimensionally stable -formaldehyde free particleboard is available if zero offgassing is a req. *mdf has a smoother surface making it more suitable for glossy laminates, more expensive, and not as good at holding screws *hardboard has a smooth surface, can have bonding problems *veneer core subject to warpage and is not recommended Term plastic laminate on large surfaces Definition must be balanced with a backing sheet to inhibit moisture absorption and for structural balance Term standing trim Definition an item of fixed length, such as a door or window casing that can be installed with a single length of wood Term running trim Definition an item of continuing length, such as cornice Term standing & running trim vs. molding Definition standing and running trim is customized by the millworker of any wood species, molding is only available in a few species and is limited to standard profiles Term specifying the maximum allowable moisture content in woodwork Definition not as much of a problem in millwork as it is for site built carpentry *most of the US is an average of 8% *southern or humid areas is 11% *dry areas is 6% Term factory finish Definition preferred method because quality is easiest to control Term opaque finishes for wood Definition *should only be used on closed grain woods where solid stock is required or on mdf for sheet materials Term lacquer Definition coating material with resins and plasticizers, very hard easy to apply and repair do not provide chemical and wear resistance Term varnish Definition darkens with age, cracks Term polyurethane Definition creates a very hard, durable finish superior resistance to abrasion and to penetration from water Term polyester wood finish Definition the hardest and most durable finish available (80% hardness of glass) only available in gloss difficult to repair or refinish outside of the shop Term catalyzed vinyl finish Definition the most chemical resistance of standard lacquers very resistant to scratching & abrasion Term oil finish Definition require re-oiling periodoically darken with age Term stains Definition water based - uniform color, but raise the grain solvent based - dry quickly and do not raise grain, less uniform Term solid surfacing Definition standard thickness is 3/4" for countertops, lower priced available at 1/2" Term building codes regulate the flame spread of wood for paneling for wall and ceiling, but not trim or furniture Definition must meet the maximum flame spread rating of the code based on occupancy and use area. if less than .036 thick, it is not regulated
