Knots and other defects are sometimes unavoidable in some species, and will effect different strength properties to varying degrees (e.g., a knot may increase a wood’s hardness in that area, but decrease its overall bending strength). Coming up with a good definition of “strong” It should...
Wood is a versatile, durable and convenient material with high specific stiffness (stiffness per unit weight) and strength [60], [61], [62], [63], comparable to those of metals, polymers, and glasses (Fig. 1a); however, the natural elasticity of wood is lower to steel springs, rubber...
It's valued for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Whereas, a forest encompasses a much broader concept, referring to a large area dominated by trees, underbrush, and wildlife, serving as crucial ecosystems for the planet. 8 While wood is measured and valued by its type, ...
Crushing Strength:6,020 lbf/in2(41.5 MPa) Shrinkage:Radial: 3.1%, Tangential: 4.7%, Volumetric: 7.8%, T/R Ratio: 1.5 Color/Appearance:Heartwood tends to be a reddish or violet-brown. Sapwood is a pale yellow color, and can appear throughout the heartwood as streaks and stripes. ...
E is the drift field strength, K is the scalar mobility of the ions (cm.sup.2 /V.multidot.s) for a drift length ld which is the length of the drift tube. Mobility was determined from the drift time t.sub.d by the formula: ##EQU1## ...
Extractive content varies by wood species, season the tree was felled, and the conditions under which it grew or was seasoned (dried). Besides decay resistance, extractive content also affects properties such as hardness, density, compression strength, flammability, and level of hygroscopicity (liquid...
Brown stain is due to a chemical reaction occurring in the drying of some species. Blue stain is cause by the growth of mould like fungi on the surface or in the interior of the wood prior to the time the wood is dry. The stain does not effect the strength of the wood, and the ...
As for the other Chinese zodiac signs, in particular those who are not in acquaintance with the Wood element (Ox, Snake, Horse, Dog), they are advised not to overestimate either their potential or their strengths, and to pursue only one task at a time. Same thing on a sentimental level...

I know from experiences lichtenberg burning black cherry that if you brush on a solution of around a teaspoon of baking soda per cup of water, the solution will make the heartwood of most pieces a vibrant orange color. Some slightly figured pieces may develop more discoloration in some areas ...
