This refers to quarter-inch increments.&nbsp; In other words, a piece of wood 1.0\u201d thick is 4\/4 (\u201cfour quarter\u201d), a 2.0\u201d thick piece would be 8\/4 (\u201ceight quarter\u201d), and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"air-dried\" style=\"line-height:1\">Air-dried<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lumber can not be used immediately after a tree is harvested.&nbsp; The <a href=\"#moisture-content\">moisture content<\/a> is too high and the wood will warp and twist as it dries.&nbsp; Air drying is the process of stacking the <a href=\"#rough-sawn\">rough-sawn<\/a> lumber with spacers between each layer to allow airflow. The moisture in the wood is released naturally, taking roughly 1 year per inch of thickness.&nbsp; Before air drying, the lumber is rough-sawn over-sized (thicker) so that any twisting or warping that occurs while air drying can be removed resulting in a thinner, but straight piece of wood.&nbsp; Air-drying usually results in a final moisture content of 15-20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"board-foot\" style=\"line-height:1\">Board Foot (bf)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricing pieces of wood that are random sizes is not easy for your local lumber yard.&nbsp; The solution is to price wood in <strong>board feet<\/strong>. One board foot refers to a piece of wood that is 144 cubic inches regardless of its length, width, or thickness.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example of 1 board foot is a piece 12\u201d wide x 12\u201d long x 1\u201d thick (12 x 12 x 1 = 144).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other examples of one board foot are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:50px\">\n<li>24\u201d long x 6\u201d wide x 1\u201d thick (24 x 6 x 1 = 144)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>48\u201d long x 6\u201d wide x \u00bd\u201d thick&nbsp; (48 x 6 x \u00bd = 144)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Board feet is calculated as <strong>Length x Width x Thickness \/ 144<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a real-world example. Let\u2019s say you find a plank that&#8217;s 6 feet long (72\u201d), 8\u201d wide, and \u00be\u201d thick.&nbsp; Here\u2019s the math:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"padding-left:50px\">\n<li>72 x 8 x \u00be = 432 cubic inches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>432 \/ 144 = 3bf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"book-matched\" style=\"line-height:1\">Book Matched<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Book-matching refers to the process of cutting a piece of wood in half, opening the two halves like the pages of a book, and gluing them together side-by-side. The result is a piece that is twice as wide as the original, where the grain pattern of one side is the mirror reflection of the other side. Usually highly figured wood (eg. flame or <a href=\"#quilt\">quilt<\/a>) is book-matched and then used as the top face of a guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"burl\" style=\"line-height:1\">Burl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Burl refers to a section of a tree that develops a deformed growth resulting in a large round-ish \u201cknob\u201d.&nbsp; Burls usually contain unique, highly figured wood.&nbsp; They often contain unusable areas and are rarely in a uniform shape. Burls, especially maple, can be used for thin (~\u00bc\u201d) guitar tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"checking\" style=\"line-height:1\">Checking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking refers to cracks or stress lines usually at the ends of a board.&nbsp; Checks are the result of internal stresses separating the wood fibers during the drying process.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id7502_d2fe83-81 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id7502_d2fe83-81 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

Because of this annual \u201cslow-down\u201d, these trees tend to be slower growing which results in hardwood lumber.&nbsp; Maple and Oak are examples of hardwood. The term hardwood is in no way a reference to the actual hardness of the wood [see <a href=\"#hardness\">Hardness<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heartwood\" style=\"line-height:1\">Heartwood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heartwood refers to the inner part of a tree (farthest from the bark) that has effectively died. It is often darker in appearance. Heartwood tends to be denser and therefore harder than outer <a href=\"#sapwood\">sapwood<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kiln-dried\" style=\"line-height:1\">Kiln-Dried<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood that has been artificially dried in a large oven as opposed to being <a href=\"#air-dried\">air-dried<\/a>. Kilns allow for precise control of temperature and humidity. Wood cannot be kiln-dried in a kitchen oven because there is no method to control humidity.&nbsp; The use of a kiln allows for reducing the <a href=\"#moisture-content\">moisture content<\/a> to a usable 6-10% in weeks as opposed to years with air-drying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lineal-feet\" style=\"line-height:1\">Lineal \/ Linear Feet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A measurement based only on the length of a board regardless of width or thickness. For example, a board 6 feet long (72\u201d) is 6 linear feet whether it\u2019s 4\u201d wide or 10\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mineral-streak\" style=\"line-height:1\">Mineral Streak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A mineral streak is a black, grey, or greenish streak found in some woods.

While the inner <a href=\"#heartwood\">heartwood<\/a> is no longer living, the sapwood is still alive. Sapwood is generally lighter in color than heartwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"softwood\" style=\"line-height:1\">Softwood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Softwood generally comes from coniferous evergreen trees.&nbsp; Evergreen trees tend to grow faster making them less dense than slower-growing leaf trees (see <a href=\"#hardwood\">hardwood<\/a>). Spruce, Fir, and Cedar are examples of softwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spalt\" style=\"line-height:1\">Spalt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spalting is a color and or figure pattern caused by fungi and is mostly found in dead trees.

The removal of oxygen is key as otherwise, the wood would simply ignite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process allows a number of changes that would normally happen naturally over many years to take place in a relatively short period of time.&nbsp; These changes include decreased <a href=\"#moisture-content\">moisture content<\/a>, crystalization of resins, and hardening of the cell walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wood becomes more stable because the cells have less ability to absorb moisture. Another notable change is that the wood darkens in appearance.&nbsp; Torification is not the same as <a href=\"#kiln-dried\">kiln drying<\/a>, and also can not be performed in a home oven because there is no way to remove the oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"worm-holes\" style=\"line-height:1\">Worm Holes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, these are holes (tunnels!)
