Ch.17 Architectural woodwork Flashcards
Custom, shop fabricated millwork built primarily of lumber and used for interior finish construction and specialty furnishings. It includes cabinetry, paneling, custom doors and frames, shelving, custom furniture, and special interior trim.
Architectural wood work
Wood work completed on the job site
Finish carpentry
What are the three grades of millwork
Premium, custom, and economy
That’s great of Newark is the highest level of quality in materials, workmanship, and installation. It is usually reserved for special projects of special features within a project
Premium grade
This grade of millwork is the most common grade and still produces a higher quality job
Custom
This grade of nowhere defines the minimum level of quality, materials, and workmanship.
Economy
Consist of pre-fabricated cabinets that are selected from a manufacturer standard product line. It is commonly used in residential kitchens and baths, laboratories, schools, and other areas where quality cabinets are required but custom construction it’s not required
Modular case work
Refers to timber from Evergreen trees, such as Pine and fir.
Softwood
Refers to timber from deciduous trees such as oak and maple
Hardwood
A piece of lumber generally 1/2 inch or thicker used alone to form some woodwork component.
Solid stock
Send piece of wood usually less than 1/16 inch thick sliced from a log and glued to a backing of particleboard or firewood, normally 3/4 inch thick
Veneer
Makes the most efficient use of the log and is the least expensive of the three methods. Because the word is cut with various orientations to the grain of the tree, this results in a finished surface with the characteristic cathedral pattern
Plain sawn 
Produced by cutting the log into quarters and then sewing perpendicular to the diameter line. Because the saw is nearly perpendicular to the grain, the resulting green pattern is more uniformlyvertical
Quarter sawn
Provides an even more consistent vertical brain because the saw cuts are always made radiology to the center of the tree. Because the log must be shifted after each cut and because there’s much waste, this time is more expensive than quarters sewing and is seldom done.
Rift sawn
Accomplished in the same way as they are when cutting solid stock, except the resulting pieces are much thinner.
Plane slicing and quarter slicing for veneers
This type of slicing of wood veneer is produces more straight grain pattern then slicing clean because the cutting knife strikes the growth rings at approximately a 90 degree angle
Quarter slicing
This type of veneer slicing, the log is mounted on a lathe and returned against a knife, which peeled off the continuous layer of veneer. This produces a very pronounced grain pattern that is often undesirable in fine quality wood finishes, although it does produce the most Venere with the least waste
Rotary slicing
Quarter sawing
Rift sawing
Plain sawing 
Similar to Rotary slicing, but the log is cut in half, and the venue is cut slightly across the annual growth rings. This results in a pronounced green pattern showing characteristics of both rotary sliced and plain sliced veneers
Half round slicing
This type of slicing of wood veneers is accomplished by quartering a log and cutting at a 15° angle to the growth rings. Like quarter slicing, it results in a straight grain pattern and is commonly used with oak to illuminate the appearance of markings perpendicular to the direction of the grain. These markings in oak are caused by medullary rays, which are radial cells extending from the tree center to its circumference
Rift slicing
Individual veneers that come from the same piece of log
Flitch 
Rotary slicing
