Q

quarter sawn

A

produced by cutting the log into quarters and then sawing perpendicular to a diameter line.
the pattern is more uniform.
tends to be twist and cup less, shrink less in width, hold paint better, and have fewer defects than plain sawn

Q

rift sawn

A

most consistent vertical grain because the saw cuts are always made radially to the center of the tree.
there is more waste

Q

quarter slicing (veneer)

A

produces a more straight-grained pattern than plain slicing because the cutting knife strikes the growth rings at apprximately a ninety degree angle

Q

rotary slicing

A

the log is mounted on a lathe and turned against a snife, which peels off a continuous layer of veneer
produces a very pronounced grain pattern that is often undesirable in high quality woods

Q

half-round slicing

A

similar to rotary except the log is cut in half, and the veneer is cut slightly across the annular growth ringspronounced grain pattern sim to both rotary and plain slicing

Q

rift slicing

A

like quarter slicing, it results in a straight-grained pattern. commonly used with oak to avoid perpendicular markings

Q

four basic categories of door and drawer front construction

A

flush
flush overlay
reveal overlay
lipped overlay

24
Q

flush construction (door and drawer construction)

A

face of the drawer or door in installed flush with the face frame

25
Q

lipped overlay construction (door and drawer construction)

A

part of the door or drawer overlaps the frame and covers the joint between the two pieces.

26
Q

flush overlay construction (door and drawer construction)

A

the front of the door or drawer overlaps the face frame of the cabinet. often referred to as european cabinets

27
Q

reveal overlay (door and drawer construction)

A

edges of adjacent drawer and door fronts are separated enough the reveal the face frame behind
reveal width can be whatever
often less expensive than flush overlay because minor misalignments and sagging are not as noticeable

28
Q

two basic types of wood paneling

A

stile and rail (or raised panel)
flush paneling

29
Q

Stile and rail (raised panel)

A

traditional type composed of vertical pieces (stile) and horizontal pieces (rails)

30
Q

flush paneling

A

flat, smooth surface with the edge butted together or joined with a reveal

31
Q

there are three ways to match adjacent veneer leaves

A

book matching
Slip matching
random matching

32
Q

book matching (veneers)

A

most common. veneers are sliced off the log and every other
piece is turned over so that adjacent leaves form a symmetrical grain pattern

33
Q

slip matching (veneers)

A

consecutive pieces are placed side by side and the same face sides are exposed

34
Q

random matching

A

places veneers in a random sequence and veneers from different flitches can even be used

35
Q

there are three ways to bookmatch veneers within a panel

A

running match
balance match
center match

36
Q

running match veneers

A

simply alternates the book matched veneer pieces, regardless of their width or how many pieces must be used to complete a panel. any portion left over from the last leaf of one panel is used as the starting piece for the next

37
Q

balance match

A

utilizes veneer pieces trimmed to equal widths in each panel

38
Q

center match

A

has an even number of veneer leaves of uniform width so that there is a veneer joint in the center of the panel

39
Q

there are three ways panels can be assembled within a room to complete a project

A
  1. warehouse match - pre-manufactured panels– least expensive
  2. sequence match
  3. blueprint match - panels precisely fit the room and line up with every obstruction so grain continuity is not interrupted
40
Q

HPDL AKA_____

A

plastic laminate

41
Q

substrates for HPDL
which is most common?

A

particle board, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), hardboard, and veneer core
45lbm density particleboard is one of the most commonly used.
MDF is the second most used. it’s better in many ways but it’s more expensive

42
Q

standing trim vs running trim

A

standing trim: fixed length. door or window casing. can be installed with a single length of wood
running trim: an item of continuing length, such as a baseboard, chair rail, or cornice

43
Q

how is wood molding different from standing trim and running trim?

A

it is finish carpentry not millwork
it is ordered by number and comes in standard profiles and sizes

44
Q

is shrinkage and swelling more of an issue with finish carpentry or millwork?

A

finish carpentry

45
Q

______ is a synthetic material that creates a very hard durable finish on wood. although difficult to repair or refinish, this finish type offers superior resistance to abrasion and to penetration or damage from water and many commercial and household chemicals.

A

polyurethane

46
Q

_____ are another type of synthetic material that give the hardest, most durable finish possible. they have 80% of the hardness of glass

A

polyester

47
Q

As with the opaque finish, both polyurethane and polyester provide the most durable transparent finish for for wood. They are are the most __________ of the finishing systems and require _______ applicators.

A

expensive
skilled

48
Q

two types of wood stain

A

water-based and solvent-based

49
Q

water-based stain

A

yield a uniform color, but it raises the grain

50
Q

solvent-based stains

A

dry quickly and do not raise the grain, less uniform

51
Q

_____ is a term for homogeneous, polymer-based surfacing materials

A

solid surfacing

52
Q

standard thickness for solid surface countertop

A

3/4”

53
Q

______ is a process by which crushed quartz particles are set in a thermoplastic polyester resin with mineral oxide pigments to create a durable and scratch-resistant surfacing material

A

quartz surfacing

54
Q

quartz is stronger than ___ and ____

A

marble and granite

55
Q

pros of quartz

A
  • very hard and highly stain resistant- ideal for use in healthcare and food service applications- class a flame-spread rating- emits no VOCs
56
Q

in general, most building codes regulate the use of woodwork as ____ but not ____

A

wall or ceiling finish, but not the use of wood in furniture or cabinets

57
Q

2 ways to help the environment in specifying architectural woodwork

A
  1. specify wood from sustainable-yield forests
  2. select one of the hundreds of alternate domestic species that are plentiful in supply (example: composite wood veneers)
