Długie, prostokątne kawałki drewna używane w budownictwie nazywane są tarcicą.
Kłody zebrane z drzew są okorowane i wielokrotnie podawane przez automatyczną piłę.
Za każdym razem, gdy kłoda jest cięta, płyty są transportowane za pomocą przenośnika taśmowego do mniejszych pił. Tutaj płyty są cięte na tarcicę o kwadratowych krawędziach o wymaganych szerokościach.
Na tym etapie wycięte kawałki mają chropowate powierzchnie, a ich wymiary mogą nieznacznie różnić się od jednego końca do drugiego.
Tarcicę uzyskuje się przez piłowanie po równinie lub ćwiartkowanie. Tarcica zwykła przedstawia słoje drzew płasko na szerszej powierzchni deski i jest zwykle używana jako tarcica konstrukcyjna.
W tarcicy ćwiartkowej słoje wzrostu wyrównują się pod kątem około 45 stopni lub więcej w przypadku drewna miękkiego i pod kątem 60 stopni lub więcej w drewnie twardym do szerszej powierzchni deski. Drewno iglaste przetarte w ćwiartkach służy do wykładania podłóg, wykończeń i oblicówek.
Piłowanie szczelinowe jest również stosowane w przypadku drewna twardego, przy czym słoje w twardym drewnie ciętym są wyrównane pod kątem od 30 do 60 stopni do szerokiej powierzchni deski i są stosowane tam, gdzie wygląd i trwałość mają kluczowe znaczenie.

tarcica

Tarcica powstaje z kłód, które są zbierane, okorowane i przetwarzane na długie kawałki o prostokątnym przekroju poprzecznym. Przekształcenie kłód w drewno obejmuje wiele etapów, zaczynając od automatycznej piły, która tnie kłodę na płyty. Następnie płyty te są transportowane za pomocą przenośnika taśmowego do mniejszych pił, gdzie są cięte na kwadratowe kawałki o określonej szerokości.

Początkowo powierzchnie tych kawałków drewna są szorstkie, a ich wymiary mogą się nieznacznie różnić od jednego końca do drugiego. Metoda cięcia drewna ma znaczący wpływ na cechy i zastosowania drewna. Drewno jest cięte na trzy sposoby: piłą prostą, ćwiartkową lub metodą riftsawing.

Tarcica prosta charakteryzuje się prawie płaskimi słojami przyrostowymi wzdłuż szerszej powierzchni deski i jest powszechnie stosowana w zastosowaniach konstrukcyjnych ze względu na wydajność produkcji i opłacalność. Drewno cięte ćwiartkami, w którym słoje przyrostowe są ustawione pod kątem około 45 stopni w drewnie miękkim i 60 stopni w drewnie twardym do szerszej powierzchni deski, jest preferowane do produktów takich jak podłogi, listwy wykończeniowe i siding ze względu na zwiększoną stabilność i wygląd. Cięcie rylcowe, stosowane głównie w drewnie twardym, ustawia słoje przyrostowe pod kątem od 30 do 60 stopni, optymalizując walory estetyczne i trwałość, dzięki czemu idealnie nadaje się do wysokiej jakości mebli i zastosowań dekoracyjnych. Każda technika cięcia oferuje odrębne zalety, zaspokajając różne potrzeby w branży budowlanej i stolarskiej.

lumber cutting methods

Lumber is made from logs that are harvested, debarked, and processed into long pieces with a rectangular cross-section. The process starts when an automated saw slices a log into slabs. Those slabs then move on a conveyor belt to smaller saws, where they are cut into square-edged pieces of specific widths.

Freshly cut lumber usually has rough surfaces. Its dimensions may also vary slightly from one end to the other. The way wood is cut affects both the lumber’s appearance and how it is used.

Lumber is cut in three main ways: plainsawing, quartersawing, and riftsawing. Plainsawn lumber has growth rings that lie nearly flat on the board’s wider face. It is often used for structural applications because it is efficient to produce and cost-effective.

Quartersawn lumber places the growth rings at about 45 degrees in softwoods and 60 degrees in hardwoods to the wider face of the board. It is often chosen for flooring, trim, and siding because it is more stable and has a better appearance. Riftsawing is used mainly for hardwoods. It sets the growth rings at a 30 to 60-degree angle and is well suited for high-quality furnishings and decorative uses because it improves durability and visual appeal.

introduction to wood

Wood Structure and Uses in Building

Wood is a construction material made from trees. A tree trunk has several layers. The outside is a protective layer of dead bark. Under that is living bark, then the cambium, then sapwood. As sapwood matures, it becomes heartwood. The pith sits at the center of the trunk. The age of a tree can be read from its growth rings. These rings are concentric bands seen in a trunk cross-section. Wood strength also depends on grain. Grain refers to elongated, tubular cells that run along the length of...

softwoods and hardwoods

Wood Grain in Softwoods and Hardwoods

Softwoods and hardwoods come from different kinds of trees, and their leaf structures and cell makeup help explain how they are used. Softwoods come from cone-bearing trees with needle-like leaves. Hardwoods usually come from trees that shed broad leaves seasonally. Softwoods are made mostly of long cells called tracheids and a smaller number of rays, which are radial cells. This simpler structure gives softwoods a rougher grain. Because of this, they are often used in construction for...

Wood Strength Tests and Lumber Sizes

Wood strength depends on how its fibers are aligned along the length of the tree. This alignment gives wood much greater tensile strength along the grain than across it, sometimes up to twenty times higher. Wood also tends to perform better under compression than under tension. Fiber length varies by wood type. Hardwoods have fibers about one twenty-fifth of an inch long. Softwoods have longer fibers that range from one-eighth to one-third of an inch. Laboratory tests help measure how wood...

seasoning of wood

Wood Drying for Stronger Construction

Seasoning of wood is the drying process used to lower and stabilize moisture content before wood is used in construction. Fresh wood can swell when it takes in moisture and contract as it dries. Seasoning helps reduce that movement so the wood stays more stable after it is built into a structure. The main goal is to reach equilibrium moisture content. This is the point where the wood’s moisture level matches the moisture in the surrounding environment. When wood is seasoned properly, it is...

wood surfacing

Wood Surfacing for Smooth, Safe Lumber

Wood surfacing smooths lumber, improves its size accuracy, and makes it safer to handle. It is a key finishing step in woodworking and construction. The process also helps correct small distortions that can form as wood dries. Before surfacing, the wood may be sized slightly larger to account for shrinkage during seasoning, which is the drying stage. A plane, a tool with rotating blades, is used to remove material and smooth the surface. The same tool can also round the edges a little, which...

lumber defects

Common Wood Flaws in Lumber

Lumber defects are flaws in wood that can change both its appearance and its strength. These defects come from tree growth and from the way lumber is processed. Knowing the main defects helps explain why some boards are better for construction and manufacturing than others. Some defects begin in the tree itself. Knots form where branches were once attached to the trunk, and knotholes appear when those knots fall out. Decay and insect damage are also natural defects that can weaken wood and...

wood fasteners

Wood Fastener Types and Uses

Wood fasteners connect parts of a wood structure and help keep members in place. The strength of the connection depends mainly on direct bearing between the wood members. Different fasteners are chosen for different jobs and structural needs. Nails are the most common wood fasteners. They are sharp-pointed metal pins that are driven into wood with a hammer or a mechanical nail gun. Nails come in many diameters, head styles, and lengths. Nailing methods also matter. Face nailing places the...

veneer

How Veneer Is Cut and Used

Veneer is a thin sheet of wood that is usually about one-eighth of an inch thick or less. It is made to show the look of wood while using timber more efficiently. Veneer is common in furniture and other finished wood products. One common way to make veneer is rotary cutting. In this method, a log is mounted in a large lathe and spun against a knife edge. As the knife moves deeper into the turning log, it peels off a continuous strip of wood. This creates rotary-cut veneer. Other veneer...

wood products

Engineered Wood Products in Construction

Engineered wood products are made from wood strands, veneers, lumber, and even waste wood shreds. They are used in both structural and nonstructural building applications. These materials are designed to improve strength, durability, and versatility in modern construction. Glue-laminated wood, or glulam, is made by bonding several smaller pieces of dimensional lumber with adhesive. Cross-laminated timber uses solid lumber panels with layers placed so the grain direction alternates. This layer...

wood panel products

Types of Wood Panels in Construction

Wood panels are common construction materials used for flooring, siding, and roofing. They usually come in standard 4-foot by 8-foot sheets. Their thickness can range from one-quarter of an inch to one and one-eighth inches. Plywood is one of the most familiar wood panels. It is made by gluing thin wood veneers, or layers, under pressure. The outer veneer grain runs lengthwise, while the inner layers run widthwise. Plywood also has an odd number of layers, which helps keep the panel...
