  • 10:0410:04, 16 March 2023 diff hist +789 N PithCreated page with "Pith in lumber refers to the central core of a tree trunk, which is comprised of soft, spongy tissue that contains cells that are still alive. When a tree is cut down and sawn into lumber, the pith is typically found near the center of the log and may be visible as a small, circular or oval-shaped area in the center of the cut lumber. The pith is typically softer and less dense than the surrounding wood, and may be more susceptible to cracking, warping, or other forms o..." current
  • 10:0210:02, 16 March 2023 diff hist +563 N Borer HoleCreated page with "A borer hole in lumber refers to a small, round hole that is made by a wood-boring insect, such as a beetle or a moth, as it tunnels through the wood. Borer holes can be found in both softwood and hardwood lumber and can vary in size depending on the size of the insect that created them. The presence of borer holes in lumber can be a cause for concern, as they may indicate the presence of an active infestation of wood-boring insects. These insects can cause significant..." current
  • 09:5909:59, 16 March 2023 diff hist +665 N Cone HoleCreated page with "A cone hole in lumber refers to a small, circular hole that is typically found in softwood lumber, such as pine, spruce, or fir. The hole is caused by the presence of a small, cone-shaped projection on the tree, which falls off or is removed during the milling process. Cone holes are usually small in size, typically less than an inch in diameter. They are often located near the edge of the board and may be difficult to see if the lumber has been planed or sanded. While..."
  • 09:5809:58, 16 March 2023 diff hist +451 N Knot HoleCreated page with "A knot hole refers to a hole or void in the wood that is caused by a knot in the tree where a branch or limb grew. When a tree is cut down and sawn into lumber, the knots in the wood can leave behind holes or voids where the branch or limb once was. Knot holes can vary in size and shape, depending on the size and position of the knot in the tree. Some knot holes may be relatively small and round, while others may be larger and irregularly shaped."
  • 09:5709:57, 16 March 2023 diff hist +222 N Termite GalleryCreated page with "A termite gallery in lumber refers to a tunnel or channel that has been excavated by termites within the wood. When termites infest lumber, they create galleries or tunnels within the wood as they feed and move through it." current
  • 09:5309:53, 16 March 2023 diff hist +781 N Occluded Branch StubCreated page with "In lumber, occlusion refers to a process by which the wood fibers around a branch or other defect grow together and close off the defect. When a branch is cut or otherwise removed from a tree, the tree responds by growing new wood around the site of the injury. If the new wood grows tightly around the defect, it can eventually close off the opening and create a smooth, continuous surface in the wood. Occlusion is a natural process that can occur in both hardwood and sof..." current
  • 09:3209:32, 16 March 2023 diff hist +561 N Loose KnotCreated page with "A loose knot refers to a knot in wood that is not tightly embedded or firmly attached to the surrounding wood fibers. When wood is cut from a tree, knots can form where branches grew from the trunk or where two parts of the trunk grew together. Loose knots are generally darker and have shrunk away and detached from the surrounding wood during the growing process. They contain visible cracks or gaps and are often surrounded by a thin layer of scar tissue called callus...."
