... and characterization of a novel means to create reproducible wood surfaces that are approximately 7 × 10 cm 2 and have differing degree of surface roughness. Three unique specimens were prepared by creating 3-dimensional digital-scans of actual wood surfaces found in three St. Louis homes. These surfaces had distinct...

...CR Frihart Despite the importance of durable wood bonds, the factors that lead to durability are not well understood, and the internal forces exerted upon the bondline are often overlooked. Durability requires that the bonded assembly resist dimensional changes of wood with fluctuation of wood...
