UNIT 3 TECHNICAL MATERIALS WOODS

CLASSIFICATION WOODS NATURAL SOFTWOODS They come from coniferous trees. They are ever green, and have got NEEDLE shaped leaves HARDWOODS They come from decicious trees (they lost their FLAT leaves in autumm) MANMADE BOARDS

SOFTWOODS - PROPERTIES CONIFEROUS ARE FAST GROWING CONIFEROUS ARE FAST GROWING ( years to mature) TIMBER THAT COMES FROM CONIFEROUS TREES IS OPEN GRAINED TIMBER THAT COMES FROM CONIFEROUS TREES IS OPEN GRAINED IT SPLITS EASILY IT SPLITS EASILY IT IS WEAK IT IS WEAK IT IS CHEAP IT IS CHEAP

HARDWOODS - PROPERTIES DECICIOUS TREES ARE LOW GROWING (100 years to mature) DECICIOUS TREES ARE LOW GROWING (100 years to mature) TIMBER THAT COMES FROM DECIDIOUS TREES IS CLOSE GRAINED TIMBER THAT COMES FROM DECIDIOUS TREES IS CLOSE GRAINED IT DOES NOT SPLIT EASILY IT DOES NOT SPLIT EASILY IT IS STRONG IT IS STRONG IT IS EXPENSIVE IT IS EXPENSIVE
