Study Notes
Woodworking Materials and Tools
- Woodworking involves creating objects from wood using various materials, including fasteners and hardware.
Types of Wood
- Two main types:
- Hardwood: From broadleaf trees (e.g., Yakal, Molave, Kamagong, Narra).
- Softwood: From coniferous trees (e.g., Pine, Cypress, Evergreen).
Basic Woodworking Materials
- Lumber: Wood from trees, varying in type and species.
- Logs are cut trees.
- Lumber transported on float or trucks.
Philippine Lumber Types
- Classified into four groups based on hardness and uses:
- First Group (Hard): Suitable for furniture, cabinets, carving, musical instruments, and interior finishing. Examples include Akle, Batikuling, Betis, Kamagong, Ebony, Ipil, Lanete, Macono, Molave, Narra, and Tindalo.
- Second Group (Moderately Hard): Used in construction, furniture, shipbuilding, and more. Examples include Apitong, Bolong-eta, Katmon, Cuijo, Tanguile, and Teak.
- Third Group: Primarily for flooring, furniture, and charcoal. Examples include Almon, Bagtikon, and Lauan.
- Fourth Group (Soft): Used for budget-friendly furniture, cabinets, and interior finishing. Examples include Pao, Kalingnog, and Santol.
Lumber Grading
- Categorized based on use and quality:
- Yard Lumber: Primarily softwood, used in workshops. Two grades: Select and Common.
- Structural Timber: Large sizes for beams and joints.
