Recognise the classifications of woods and their properties.

Understand the lifecycle of timber products.
Gain understanding of the manufacturing processes involved
in making wooden products.
Be able to suggest specific timbers for certain products.
Outcomes
MUST tackle a previous exam question on woods and their
uses.
SHOULD use the materials quiz to assess their learning needs,
and judge the progress they have made.
COULD go on to read over revision guides to consolidate
their learning.

AGAINST
The term grain refers to the alternating regions of

relatively darker and lighter wood resulting from the
differing growth parameters occurring in different
seasons (i.e., growth rings).
In describing the application of a woodworking
technique to a given piece of wood, the direction of
the technique may be:
with the grain (easy; giving a clean result)
ACROSS
END
against the grain (heavy going; giving a poor result

such as chipping or tear-out)
across the grain (direction of cut is across the grain
lines, but the plane of the cut is still aligned with
them)
end grain (at right angles to the grain, for example
trimming the end of a plank)

Objectives: Gain understanding of the manufacturing

processes involved in making wooden products.
Manufacturing processes -turning

Turn on a manual lathe using
chisels or using CNC machinery
such as Boxford to make
products like chair/table legs
handles and ornaments.
Objectives: Gain understanding of

the manufacturing processes involved
Manufacturing processes Veneers.
A thin surface layer, as of finely grained wood, glued to a base of

inferior material usually MDF or woodchip.
Objectives: Gain understanding of the manufacturing

processes involved in making wooden products.

Manufacturing processes:
Manufactured Boards
There are a number of MANUFACTURED BOARDS such as:
MDF, Plywood, Veneers, Hard

Board, Block Board, Chip Board.
Due to the hybrid nature of these products we are to cover these
within composite materials.
Objectives: Gain understanding of the

manufacturing processes involved in
making wooden products.
Recycled Products
Wood Pellets.
Wood pellets are usually made of
compressed sawdust that is a
waste product from other industries
(e.g sawmills). The pellets are held
together by the natural lignin in the
wood
- no glue is needed.

products.
Hardwood Ash.
Open-grained so easy to work, tough and flexible. Good elastic

qualities, works well.
Not the most exciting colour or grain either needs staining or
put to use where looks arent important.
Write notes in your

revision book.
Hardwood - Mahogany
Easy to work, fairly strong, durable.

Prone to warping - expensive.

products.
Hardwood - Oak
Very strong, heavy and durable. Hard & tough.

Open - grained.
Contains tannic acid which corrodes iron & steel (need to think
about fixings).
Write notes in your

revision book.
Objectives:Be able to suggest

products.
Hardwood - Balsa
Very soft and light.

Ideal for models.
Quite expensive for what it is, again not the most attractive.

Close-grained, hard, tough and strong, works

well and finishes well.
Prone to warping.

A dowel joint is a butt joint

reinforced with wooden pegs.
Neat joint
Simple joint
Strong if the correct glue is
applied
Cons:
You have to be accurate when

drilling the holes
Dowell Joint.
Pros:
Pros:
Neat joint
Strong, rigid joint due to large gluing area
Most of the joint is hidden
Cons:
Difficult to cut the joints

Poor resistance to tension
Mortise and Tenon.
Pros:
...
Relatively easy to make with hand tools

Large drying area
Reasonably strong
Cons:
Not as strong or as durable as mortise

and Tenon or dovetailed joints.
Halving joint.
Bridle joint.
...
Pros:
Relatively strong
Large gluing area
Quick and easy to make
Cons:
Marking out needs to be

accurate
Pros:
Easy to make
Easy to use
Cons:
Basic and weakest wooden joint

Only glue holding the wood together
Butt Joint
Pros:
Easy to make
Easy to use
Large gluing area
Available in a few varieties
Can be strengthened with dowels
Cons:
Weak joint
Can be broken quite easily
Lap Joint.
Pros:
Easy to make you only make one

section
Strong joint
Cons:
Accuracy is essential as its related to
strength
Rebate / Housing Joint.
Pros:
Strongest of all joints
Large gluing area
Interlocking joint
If done accurately glue is not
required
Attractive appearance
Cons:
Time consuming to produce
Joints have to be effectively
done to be useful
Dovetail Joint
Pros:
Easy to make
More surface area for gluing
Strong joint
Used for many applications
Nice appearance
Cons:
Joints have to be accurate to be useful
Time consuming due to amount of joints
Comb Joint
Biscuit are used to strengthen

joints, they are concealed within
other joints
Nails
Nails are used in conjunction with

Joints such as butt joints to
strengthen the joints
Biscuit joints
Counter sunk screws:
Round head screw
These are used

for decoration
Purposes.
These are added for additional

strength. They are countersunk to
so they can be disguised.
They can be
capped for
Appearance.
Types of wood screws
K.D.Fs are basically

alternative methods of
attaching materials.
Their biggest asset is that
they can be undone and
materials will come apart
A lot of self-assembly furniture such as from IKEA uses

KDF to enable easy assembly.
Knock down fittings (KDF)
