The Power of the Sun and Rain Against Wood

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Aigo_Shimonaka]Aigo Shimonaka
We know the power of the elements is astounding, but we may not practically realize just how destructive they can be. The sun, rain, high temperatures, low temperatures, and humidity all play a role in gradually wearing a given material down. Obviously, by keeping an object indoors, you can eliminate the rain and greatly reduce the damaging effects of the others as well.
This is why a structure or DIY project of any kind must be treated accordingly if they are to be permanently exposed outdoors. Wood in particular, depending on type, can be very weak to repeated attacks by the sun and rain. But even before it begins actually rotting and decomposing, it will change shape as it absorbs and desorbs moisture - often considerably.
This change-shape occurs due to a localized expansion or contraction of the wood, manifesting itself in various forms of wood-warping. It follows that if the entire piece would expand or contract in a uniform fashion, the board would only change in dimensions but wouldnt skew or warp. However, this particular scenario will never play out in the real world with boards of any substantial volume or length.
But depending on wood type and the direction of grain, the level of warping can be considerably different. Certain types of wood are simply more resistant to moisture and insects, and quarter-sawn boards - due to the direction of the grain - are more resistant to warping. You put these two qualities together and you get yourself some fairly high-grade boards with which to build outdoors.
An old Table Exhibiting Major Shape-change
Heres a first-hand example of what can happen to a piece of furniture that is left out in the sun and rain with absolutely no regard to its well-being. Granted, the table top isnt a solid piece of wood but a composite of smaller wooden segments, making it significantly weaker to the elements. However, although its time has clearly passed, Im sure there was once a day when this table was a stunning piece of furniture in its own right.
On dry, sunny days, the rel=nofollow [http://freeandhandy.com/handmade-homemade-rustic-dining-table/]table top curls up into the shape of a smile when viewed cross-sectionally. Why? Because the direct sunlight literally sucks the moisture out of the top surface of the table top causing it to contract. This contraction is what pulls the wood into the nice - but impractical - shape of a smile. The opposite occurs on a rainy day. The same top surface will expand, causing it to return to its original flat shape.

The Why of Finishing

I have always been a little intimidated my the finishing process. I know I am not the only shaving slinger who faces this issue. Im sure there are several reasons for this.

As Ive said before, Norm Abrahms was my gateway into the woodworking world. Over a decade ago I would watch his show every chance, and while he spent nine tenths of the show going over the details of machining the wood and lovingly placing every biscuit. He would wrap up the finishing in less than five minutes, always telling us what he was using, but never the why.

I had similar experiences in most of the mainstream woodworking media, and even to some extent in books, even books written about finishing. There was a piece that was missing for me in those places. I couldnt put my finger on it, hell I probably still couldnt tell you exactly what that thing is. It doesnt fit well into words, not for me at least. I read about the guys I looked up to using these wonderfully complex finishes but what I couldnt get was why they chose to use them.

What makes a woodworker decide to use a danish oil or a french polish? Whats the best way to finish walnut? Pine? Bulbinga? How do you know when to choose?

I think I may be starting to figure it out, somewhat. And its not something that came from a book, or a blog, or a group of magical elves that appear in my shop at night while I sleep. Well its not completely any of those things anyway, its partially those things and partially something else.

Let me try and explain it like this:

I have a friend who is a bladesmith. A blacksmith who specializes in making swords, daggers, knives, spears, axes, and other general implements of use in dismantling a human body. Ive bought several of Daniels pieces over the years and I love his work. He has an keen eye for subtle lines and grace in historical accuracy. Hes been at it for many years and Ive always considered him very accomplished.

A while back I was visiting with him and he said he was excited because he had finally cracked the secret of correctly tempering steel. I admit I was a little surprised by the admission.

"Havent you been tempering your blades for years?" I asked

"Well, yes," he said, "but not always the right way."

Confused? I still was too.

Daniel went on to explain how the man who got him started in smithing taught him to temper like it reads in the books, but he also told him that this wasnt the best way, or even the right way. He told Daniel hed have to search for that on his own and hed know it when he found it. After several years of experience and experimenting, he finally found it.

Now I dont agree with the concept of intentionally with-holding information, and I know on the surface it can seem like this is what happened in my friends case. But theres something to be said for earning something important. A nugget of knowledge earned is a much more treasured thing. Daniel finally conquered an important thing through perseverance and experience, and along that path he learned tempering in a much more subtle and thorough way. He was given the groundwork and set on his own path to learn something difficult to accurately explain in words and even pictures.

Motorcycle Rocker of Granddaughters 2nd Birthday

Motorcycle Rocking Horse
You may have seen this project on my Connies blog if you follow her.
Crafty home cottage @blogspot.com

This is what I built my 1st granddaughter
when she turned 2 years old.

Following are photos that will take you from plans
to finished project.

As you may guess, this project took a lot of time and patience.

I made a base for my router that extended out about a foot to one side. This way to cut the wheels I was able to screw the router base directly to the wood, turning the router itself into a compass. You cant get an any more perfect circle than that.

To cut out the spokes I had to drill starter holes then insert the scroll saw blade through each hole, cut it, then unclasp the blade, moving to the next hole. A little tedious but it was a labor of love.

This project was complicated enough that I had to break it down into many work sessions.

The rockers.

The biggest challenge was getting everything to fit together correctly.

The seat and gas tank are several pieces of wood glued up and then cut to shape.

In the original plans, the handle bars are supported only by the center post. Not strong enough for these energetic girls, not to mention their play date friends. So I decided to run the fork tubes clear up to the handle bars.

Notice anyone having fun here?

It was well worth the effort to build something that will be a family heirloom.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
