The William Ritter Lumber Company (1890–1960), famous for its Appalachian oak flooring and other products, used a modified technique to reduce waste: bark and a few boards were removed from two opposite sides of the log; the log was cut in half (possibly, four quarters); each piece was placed on the flat side and "quartersawn" lumber was cut ...
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a subcategory of engineered wood panel product made from gluing together at least three layers of solid-sawn lumber at angles to each other. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is similar to plywood but with distinctively thicker laminations (or lamellae).
Framing side by side units The erection of a wooden frame in Sabah, Malaysia The construction frames of a residential subdivision in Rogers, Minnesota in 2023. Framing, in construction, is the fitting together of pieces to give a structure, particularly a building, support and shape. [1]
Panels are made slightly smaller than the available space within the frame to provide room for movement. Wood will expand and contract across the grain, and a wide panel made of solid wood could change width by a half of an inch, warping the door frame. By allowing the wood panel to float, it can expand and contract without damaging the door.
Case course: Units form the foundation or footing course. It is the lowest course in a masonry wall used for multiple functions, mostly structural. It is the lowest course in a masonry wall used for multiple functions, mostly structural.
Engineered lumber can be cut to length and installed much like sawn lumber; the flitch requires shop fabrication and/or field bolting. This, coupled with a much increased self-weight of the beam (11.4 pounds (5.2 kg) for engineered wood vs. 25.2 pounds (11.4 kg) for a flitch beam), decreases the viability of the system.
