Chapter 17 Architectural Woodwork Flashcards
What are the 3 methods solid stock wood is cut from the log?
Plain sawing: most efficient, less expensive - cathedral characteristic gran
Quarter sawing: grain is more uniformly vertical - fewer defects
Rift sawing: even more consistent vertical grain - most expensive, lots of waste
What are the 5 methods of cutting veneer from the log?
Rotary slicing: mounted on a lathe and turned against a knife - pronounced grain pattern - undesirable/least amount of waste
Half-round slicing: log cut in half and sliced across growth rings- pronounced grain pattern
Rift slicing: log cut in quarters and sliced across growth rings-Straight grain pattern
Plain slicing: most common method of cutting a log, where the slice is parallel to the center cut of a log. It produces a cathedral pattern at the center of the leaf and a straight pattern at the sides.
Quarter slicing produce a straight line pattern across the face of the veneer.
What are some of the common wood joints in millwork?
Half lap, finger joint, scarf, rabbet, dado, dovetail dado, miter, shoulder miter, splinted miter
Study figure 17.3
What thickness panel product ave used for base cabinets
Sides and bottom = 3/4”, back = 1/4”
What is a scribe piece?
An oversized piece of plastic laminate or wood that can trimmed in the field to follow any minor irregularities of the wall
How does a counter top installer precisely fit the counter material to the layout?
nstaller creates a template from thin hardboard after base cabinets are installed, then uses this template to precisely cut the countertop
What are the 4 basic categories of cabinet door and drawer front construction?
Flush - face installed flush with face frame
Lipped overlay
Flush overlay
Reveal overlay
What are the challenges when specifying a flush construction cabinet door?
Overtime., drawers and doors may sag resulting in non-uniform spacing between fronts causing some doors and drawers to bind against the frame.
What door and drawer front construction is least expensive? Why?
Revel over lay -minor misalignments and sagging are not as noticeable
What are the two basic types of wood paneling?
Stile and vail: traditional type composed of vertical pieces (stiles) and horizontal pieces (rails) enclosing a paneled area
Flush paneling: has a flat smooth surface with the edges butted together or joined with a reveal
What are the methods matching adjacent pieces of veneer and veneer panels?
Matching between adjacent veneer leaves
Matching between veneers within a room
Matching panels within a room
Matching between adjacent veneer leaves
Matching between veneers within a room
Matching panels within a room
Book matching - symmetrical grain pattern through flipping every other piece
Slip matching - consecutive pieces side by side
Random matching - random sequence from difference batches of veneer
What are the 3 ways to match veneers within a panel?
1, running match: simply alternate book matched veneer pieces regardless of leaf widths
- Balanced match: veneers trimmed to equal widths in each panel
- Centre match: an even number of veneer leaves of uniform width so that veneer joint in centre of pan
What are the 3 ways panels can be matched within a room?
Pre-manufactured: least expensive, field cut around opening, loss of grain continuity
Sequence match: panels uniform width, made for specific job
Blueprint match: most expensive, manufactured to precisely fit the room
