What you need to know prior to assembly

Characteristics of wood.

  Wood has a set of specific characteristics that are 

natural and inherent to it. Those characteristics include colour, density and the extent 

to which it is affected by humidity.

Longitudinal cut, in most cases, will reveal a nice, decorative and often very 

appreciable look, which is called a texture.

It should be added that  wood has a specific smell, given by attars, resins and 

fermented   substances,   while   freshly   cut   wood   has   a   more   pleasant   scent.   A   very 

important attribute of timber is the ease with which it absorbs humidity.

When  timber   dries,   it   shrinks.   Similarly,   when   timber   absorbs   humidity,   it 

increases in volume.

Downsides. 

One of the downsides of timber is that it chaps and warps. When 

timber dries, the moisture firstly evaporates from the surface and outer layers and only 

then from the inside layers. Thus, when the outer layers start shrinking, the inside 

layers,   due   to   stronger   moisture,   oppose   to   shrinking.   Firstly   the   surface   starts 

chapping, then the inside layers. When timber dries it can get a longitudinal warp or a 

cross warp. A longitudinal warp is when the drying straight balk bends, a flat plank 

twists and gets the form of the propeller. Wood has a set of specific technological 

characteristics. It easily splits along the fibre nicely holding metal fastenings; it can 

flex easily and is not very sensitive to depreciation. Screws hold timber extremely 

well. Screws have a much better grip with timber than nails.

Taints

: branchy timber, cracks, abnormal structure, infractions made by fungus 

or   parasites.   As   timber   is   of  biological   origin,   it  is   so   varied  that   terms   “normal 

timber” and “abnormal timber” are not strictly defined. Within the variety of sawn 

wood and  sawn  timber  some  taints  due  to fungus   may   occur:  mould,  brownness.
