WOOD PROPERTIES AND TECHNOLOGY

SELECTED PRESENTATIONS ON WOOD TECHNOLOGY - Understanding wood can improve product quality and reduce manufacturing costs. Presented in this video are a variety of illustrations on how and why wood shrinks, swells and warps. "High speed" photography shows wood changing shape in response to different environmental conditions. The wood cutting process, including the influence of different cutting angles is explained in an extraordinary sequence of video "clips".
