Wood 1010 Wood and Finishing Technology: Wood Identification


Wood & Finishing Technology is one of the most involved sections of the program. In this sections we cover so many topics; one of those is Wood Identification. Wood ID is important because different wood reacts differently to chemicals, stains, dyes and many other things. Wood, as an organic object, is not all created equally, and it is imperative that students know how to work with different woods and what precautions might need to be taken with certain woods, whether they are finishing, doing wood working, or trying to avoid possible health hazards.
