Wood has been one of the most widely used natural materials throughout history. It was crucial for tasks like building shelters and crafting tools in ancient times. Wood is composed of different parts like bark, sapwood, and heartwood. It can be processed through cutting, drying, sanding, drilling, joining, and finishing. Common woodworking tools include saws, sanders, and drills. Wood can also be made into derivative products like cardboard, paper, plywood and fiberboard. Selecting sustainable wood sources is important to reduce environmental impact such as deforestation.

Wood is a natural material. Wood and stone were the first materials that man used. Wood has been used to light a fire,
to make wood weapons, to build boats, houses, etc. Some of these things arestill used today.

Planks, boards, beams, etc
After cutting the wood, It卒s necesary to dry in order to evaporate the sap
and the water. The wood is stacked to allow air to flow. It is faster with hot air
12. Working with wood
measure and draw
Rip saw, backsaw and hacksaw. Wood Power Tools: circular saw, jigsaw and table saw.

The trees are cut in the winter, because they have less sap. The tools to cut trees were the axe and the hand saw.
The tools used today are the chainsaw Wood and big machines that cut and raise the trunk quickly.
smoothen (sand) drill
join and fix (glue, nail, screw)

(wax, varnish, paint, ink, lack)
13. Types of wood. Samples.

Poplar = chopo
Walnut = nogal
Oak = roble
Birch = abedul
Cherry = cerezo
Pine = pino
Ebony = 辿bano
Fir = abeto
Soft wood: resinous and evergreen trees, they
are easy to work with (pine, fir, poplar)
Hard wood: deciduous trees like oak , walnut, ebony,
15. Derivative products (II) (plywood,
chipboard, fiber board).
Artificial Boards: Cheaper and bigger sizes than natural wood. Completely flat and smooth. Will not rot
and it卒s termite resistant.
Plywoods: Made with wood sheets with perpendicular fibers and are stuck together. These boards always
have an uneven number of sheets.
Chipboards: Made with glued and pressed wood shavings.
We can paste plastic or natural wood sheets together to
get a wood best finish quality.
Fiber Boards: We can get them from
wood fibers pressed together at
high pressure and temperature,
glued with synthetic resin
(DM) or natural resin
(tablex).
