Teak Tree Cultivation Method


Teak or which in botanical terms known as Tectona Grandis Lf can grow sumbur across Java, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Maluku and Lampung.Teak tree can reach a height of 45 m with a length of 15-20 m branch-free trunk, the diameter can reach 220 cm.Brown color of teak-wood terrace young, brown-gray to brown-red or red-brown. Wood texture is rather coarse and uneven with the fiber direction of the straight or sometimes slightly cohesive. Wood surface smooth or slightly oily slick sometimes. Growth rings or also called rings clearly visible, both in the transverse plane and this raises radial.Hal beautiful pictures and can also to tell the age of the tree.
TEAK WOOD PROPERTIES:Teak wood has a hardness of medium, so that the teak wood easily done either by machine or by hand tools.If the tools are used quite sharp, teak can be done until it is smooth but the transverse plane should be done with caution because the wood is rather Rapu. Teak can be varnished wood and polished well, has good nail holding power and can be glued satisfactorily.
TEAK TREE CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE:Teak trees grow well in the ground nests, particularly in soil containing lime. Teak trees grow in areas that a real dry season, the type of average rainfall 1200-2000 mm / t, at an altitude of 000-700 meters above sea level.

How To Plant Mahogany Trees


Types are related: The genus consists of two genera, S. mahagony and S. humilis. Three other species have not been defined biologically, because it crossed each other freely.
Distribution and habitatThe kind that grows in humid zones; widespread natural or cultivated; native species of Mexico (Yucatan), the middle and northern South America (Amazon Region). Planting is widely especially in southern Asia and the Pacific, also introduced in West Africa.
UtilizationMahogany wood furniture includes high-value materials for decorative and easy to do. Widely planted in tropical regions in reforestation and afforestation programs. In agroforestry systems are used as shade plants and firewood.
Painting a treeEvergreen tree with a height between 30-35 cm. The skin is gray and smooth when young, turning into dark brown, bubbling and peeling after the elderly. Bertandan and pinnate leaf whose length ranges from 35-50 cm long, arranged alternately, smooth pairs, 4-6 pairs of each leaf, length range 9-18 cm. Flowers small, white, long 10-20 cm, branched panicle.
Fruit and seedFruit: dried fissure, generally shaped capsule bercuping 5, hard, long, 12-15 (-22) cm, gray-brown, smooth or. The outside of the fruit hardens, the thickness of 5-7 mm in thinner sections. The middle hardens like wood, shaped column with 5 angles which extends towards the tip. Fruit will break from the tip or base when ripe and dry. Seeds attached to the kolumela through the wings, leaving the real after seed regardless. Generally, every fruit there were 35 -45 seeds.
Seed: brown, solid oval, elongated complementary to the top of the wing, 7.5-15 cm long reach with extensive water spaces. Seeds spread by wind. 1800-2500 the number of seeds per kg.
Flowering and fruitingFlowers unisexual and monoecious tree. Pollination by insects. Hybridization often occurs, especially with S. mahagoni when these species grow together. Usually only one flower into a fruit, the others fall. Interest until the ripe fruit formation takes 9-12 months. The period of flowering and fruit occur every year from age 10-15 years but decreased the formation of fruit will be reduced if the pollinators. A long time in the formation of fruit makes it possible to assess the results of each month prior to

Mechanical Cutting plywood


Cutting boards made, especially plywood / multiplex if not done properly will give unsatisfactory results. The outer layer is very thin veneer easily peeled off mainly by the effects of round saws when cutting is not done properly.
Cutting layoutStandard size plywood commonly used today are 2440 x 1220mm, and 1800 x 900mm. The composition of the fibers in both types of the same size, ie the direction of the length. Under these conditions, it is necessary to be well planned direction of cutting and cutting plywood STEP 2.
In production with a small amount of cutting layout is not the main priority. As for the factory that manufactures such as: office furniture, TV tables, wardrobes and kitchen cabinets in bulk, careful planning is needed.
Define the size and furniture parts you need and describe the layout of plywood. Find the first component that has the greatest width (eg top table) describe a new board of smaller components.Try to keep the component which has a width equal or close to being in one groove to the long direction. The aim is that the division process is faster and produces plywood pieces of good results and smooth.
Tips on cutting plywood1. Avoid cutting the transverse direction of fiber veneer. In addition to less efficient will also be at risk of rough cut ends.2. Use saw blades with konfirgurasi eye that is suitable for plywood. Saw blade for plywood usually have a combination of the composition, angle and a certain number of pieces to optimize results.3. If you cut a circle using a Table Saw: Put on a good surface.4. If you cut using a Portable Circle Saw: Put a good surface below.5. Cut one long side and the side section width (± 10 mm) to smooth the outer side of the plywood in order to have a good line of pieces. Not all plywood came from the factory has a straight outer side and also there is usually a defect because of the impact at the time of delivery.

The technique of wood carving


It is important to use the tools of manual labor is properly and safely. It would be useful to accelerate the working process and maintain quality of the work. Here's how to use a chisel properly and safely.

Use the Right:
- Use a chisel type is right for the job you are doing. There are three types of cross-cutting tool with different functions.
(1) cross-section width for cleaning / resurfacing;
(2) trapezoidal cross-section to make holes or grooves;
(3) cross-section beams to make a hole in the pen.

- Always keep the sharpness of the chisel. A good sharpening angle is 25 degrees, and acuity angle (chisel tip) ideal 30 degrees.

A good wood glue method


Wood glue and method of application becomes the most important part in the work of wood, especially wood for furniture.
As the main technical choices and methods of connection, wood glue is very large role in determining the strength of wood construction. This article will only discuss the type of wood glue PVAc (Polyvinyl Acetate) or better known as white glue, because it's white.


To see how strong the glue that you use on wood furniture, let's look at some practical methods.
1. Cross Grain - The illustration below is gluing two sticks of wood without any construction. Once the glue is completely dry, put pressure on the shaft of the cross with the pressure gradually in several different thrust forces.From each of these steps, observe pergerekan connections and last condition of wood at the time the connection is open because of the pressure. By using the same type of glue from a different brand, you will find a particular brand has a different resistance.
Illustration of the connection position

2. Unidirectional Fiber - From a bar of wood beams, cut into pieces with angles of approximately 15-20 degrees. And reconnect the two pieces of wood using white glue. Proper connection to the former sawmill.Once the glue is completely dry, tie pieces of wood so it does not move and do the pressure on the other hand gradually until the two are separate logs as pemotongannya lines (or sometimes come open wood fiber).


3. Immersion - This method is more suitable for testing the glue on outdoor furniture (garden furniture). Two wooden sticks coated with a size equal to one (exactly the laminating process) and wait until completely dry.Then the laminated wood is soaked in water until the pervasiveness of water will affect the connection. A good quality glue will usually last longer.

Techniques Sharpen the Saw


Specific techniques are needed to sharpen the saw blade to be sharp and good. Sharpen the saw does not just make all ranks of saw blade will become more peaked, but we need to look at some of the details that will be very big influence to the ease of using a handsaw.
As a professional carpenter, although I do not think this knowledge can help to solve the problem at hand saws 'considered' a blunt or indeed need to be sharpened.

Bar straightness sawsSaw blades must be completely straight with no bent so that at the time of sawing motion cut the lines to be generated maintained its size and power needed to push or pull the saw is not too large, especially at the time of the secant already have a certain depth. Saw blades are bent can result secant becomes larger and the saws are not smooth / flat.
Rows Eye SawGrinding should pay attention to the final result saw blade in position. All the saw blade tip should lie in a straight line with the smallest possible tolerance. Similarly, the basic saw blade angle should also remain on a straight line.Ruggedness row position saw blade saw blade is not all worked up. Only the highest saw blade that work chopping wood. This situation makes sawing heavier and longer. Can also make faster saws dulled, especially at the highest saw blade.

How to Cut Wood True


For the first time holding a handsaw often unaware of how to hold the saw in the correct position so that the process of division or cutting wood goes well and easily. Because if we use a chainsaw is right in the proper position will show that not only a carpenter who could do well and quickly.

The main principle of using a hand saw is that we must know the type of chain saw in accordance with the direction of wood fibers.

 


cutting Wood

The best types of saws are saws cut with a saw blade upright. This position is adjusted to the fiber direction. The upright saw blade for cutting fiber is stronger and will feel lighter at the time of cutting.

Place the workpiece on a stable medium, it is better if the width is limited by the side of the barrier which is not easy to move. In the secant of the desired size put your thumb nail tip directly adjacent to the saw.
Always move the saw to the rear to create a groove saws. For best results you should use a power boost to cut the wood fibers. araha pure backwards just to take its original position.

Good glue plywood


In general, the main properties of plywood that is not accessible to water. However, with the special type of glue temukannya PF changing nature of the triplex into waterproof plywood. Glue WBP Plywood used for this type is PF (Phenolic Formaldehyde). Glue is a special type of glue that kekuatanya water resistant to moisture.

WBP Plywood, plywood is used for outer space, using weather and moisture resistant glue.

Specifications of the WBP plywood is as follows:

Wood Species: Meranti
Width: 4 '
Length: 8 '
Glue: WBP, Phenol Glue

Explanation About Plywood


Plywood is a wood that we used to know called triplex or multiplex. Plywood is formed from several lembarankayu bonded with high pressure. Ketabalanya vary darimulai 3 mm, 4 mm, 9 mm and 18 mm and its range 244 x 122 cm. The thickness of the plywood to determine the strength and stability. This type is most widely used wood as a material maker kitchen sets, cabinets, tables, and beds. Therefore plywood and has a smooth surface does not have the typical fiber is sometimes need to be given an additional coating such as Venner (thin slices of wood) or PVC melaminto. Plywood prices are cheaper than solid wood but is more expensive than other processed wood.

Know Plywood


Plywood or commonly known as PLYWOOD or plywood. Plywood is made from thin sheets of wood (veeneer) with a thin cut using a special machine with a thickness between 0.6 mm to 3 mm. Each sheet of wood glued together using a special glue, then in the direction of stacking with slightly different angles in order to generate the power to pressure. The number of layers adjusted to the desired thickness and number must be odd (3,5,7,9, etc. sheets).

 
Having drawn up by the number of desired thickness and then the sheet is pressed with a press sheet and very high temperatures up to 140 ° C.
