Seasoning using Artificial method
In artificial seasoning, the drying of different surfaces is uniform and uniform and it shortens the duration of the seasoning.hows the comparison between natural and kiln seasoning. The various methods of artificial seasoning are as follows.

Seasoning by nature
In this method, the wood is cooked through natural air, hence it is called air cooking. The wood is stacked very carefully to allow free circulation of air between the individual pieces. The length of the stack is equal to the length of the pieces of wood. Protect the stack from strong winds, rain and…

Timber Season
Wood from freshly cut trees cannot be used in construction because it has high moisture content and is undesirable in many accounts. Before wood can be used for any engineering purpose the water has to be extracted. This process of drying wood is known as wood seasoning and the moisture must be removed from all…

Good Timber Qualities
The characteristics of good wood are as follows. Durability: Good wood should be durable. It should be able to resist the action of fungi, insects, chemicals, physical agencies and mechanical agencies.Strength: Good timber must be strong enough to serve as a structural member such as joists, beams and rafters. It should be able to carry…

What is Microstructure
Wood structure that is only visible at great magnification is called microstructure. A living cell consists of four parts, namely membrane, protoplasm, cytoplasm and core. Cells are classified according to their function into conductive cells, mechanical cells and storage cells. The conductive cells serve mainly to transmit nutrients from the roots to the branches and…

What Macrostructure is
The structure of wood that is visible to the eye or seen on a small scale is called macrostructure. Following are the different components. Pith: The pith or medulla is the innermost part, seen only in old and immature trees. The wood of this zone is black, brown or gray in color. It is usually…

What is Exogenous
These trees grow in large numbers by growing outwards and separate continuous rings are formed in the horizontal part of such trees. These rings are known as annual rings, because one such ring is added each year. Such trees are also large in diameter. Wood, which is mostly used for engineering purposes, belongs to this…

What endogenous is
In endogenous trees, a plant grows only by the addition of new cells at the tip or tip, i.e. the trees grow inward and have a fibrous mass visible in their longitudinal section. Such trees show very few branches. The wood of these trees has very limited engineering applications. Examples of endogenous trees are bamboo,…
