Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of furniture, and in particular to a method for cutting small-diameter solid wood. Background Technology
[0002] With the implementation of the Natural Forest Protection Project, timber production has been decreasing year by year, resulting in fewer and fewer large-diameter timbers available for use. As a result, the proportion of small-diameter timber from plantations entering thinning and main felling is increasing. However, due to the small diameter (8cm to 14cm) of small-diameter timber from plantations, there is significant stress during its growth. During the cutting process, the timber squares formed from the outer layer of solid wood are prone to defects such as surface cracking, internal cracking, deformation, and shrinkage, which limits the utilization of small-diameter timber.
[0003] Therefore, a cutting method that can initially eliminate stress before and after cutting is proposed. Summary of the Invention
