| dc.description.abstract | The effects of regular drying and final dressing were tested on 898 nominal 5-ft. (1.52-m.) long red oak 2 by 4's visually graded (NELMAl) green.Only Select-Structural (SS), No.2, and No.3 grades were tested due to limited availability of No.1 and Economy (Ec) grades. Dry boards were dressed to standard finished dimension of 3.8- by 8.9-cm. by 1.52-m. and regraded with the same NELMA specifications. Elastic modulus E of each board was measured after regrading to demonstrate that drying and final dressing affected t~e orig- inal wood qualities. Evidently, wood graded for structural applications should be procured at use moisture levels and target dimensions. | en_US |
