This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Turpentining System Applied to Longleaf Pine Great and irreparable damage is being done to the second-growth longleaf pine in parts of the South by destructive turpentining methods. This circular sets forth experiments carried on for six years in the Florida National Forest. The results of these experiments indicate that the second-growth longleaf pine can be worked profitably under the French system of turpentining, and that, for the permanent welfare of the naval-stores industry of the South, operators in second-growth forests would do well to adopt the governing principles of the French system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Method of Turpentine Orcharding Formerly an unbroken forest Of Longleaf Pine extended from south ern Virginia through the South Atlantic and the Gulf States to east ern Texas. The advance of the-naval-stores industry into this region has been due to the depletion of the forest under its attack. More than one-half of the original forest has been exhausted, with no renewal. Conservative Operators now estimate a standing supply of virgin timber sufficient only for fifteen years of box cutting.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood Turpentine: Its Production, Refining, Properties and Uses Wood turpentine can be recovered from any of the coniferous woods. Those which have been found to contain sufficient resin to justify working them are the long-leaf yellow pine, of the South, the Norway pine of the Central North, and the Douglas fir of the North west. The methods by which wood turpentine is recovered may be appropriately divided into three classes, (a) destructive distillation methods, (b) steam distillation methods, (a) extraction with solvents.

Download or read book Painted Wood written by Valerie Dorge and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1998-08-27 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The function of the painted wooden object ranges from the practical to the profound. These objects may perform utilitarian tasks, convey artistic whimsy, connote noble aspirations, and embody the highest spiritual expressions. This volume, illustrated in color throughout, presents the proceedings of a conference organized by the Wooden Artifacts Group of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) and held in November 1994 at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in Williamsburg, Virginia. The book includes 40 articles that explore the history and conservation of a wide range of painted wooden objects, from polychrome sculpture and altarpieces to carousel horses, tobacconist figures, Native American totems, Victorian garden furniture, French cabinets, architectural elements, and horse-drawn carriages. Contributors include Ian C. Bristow, an architect and historic-building consultant in London; Myriam Serck-Dewaide, head of the Sculpture Workshop, Institut Royal du Patrimoine Artistique, Brussels; and Frances Gruber Safford, associate curator of American decorative arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. A broad range of professionals—including art historians, curators, scientists, and conservators—will be interested in this volume and in the multidisciplinary nature of its articles.
Download or read book Fundamentals of Tree Ring Research written by James H. Speer and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tree-ring dating (dendrochronology) is a method of scientific dating based on the analysis of tree-ring growth patterns. As author James Speer notes, trees are remarkable bioindicators. Although there are other scientific means of dating climatic and environmental events, dendrochronology provides the most reliable of all paleorecords. Dendrochronology can be applied to very old trees to provide long-term records of past temperature, rainfall, fire, insect outbreaks, landslides, hurricanes, and ice storms--to name only a few events. This comprehensive text addresses all of the subjects that a reader who is new to the field will need to know and will be a welcome reference for practitioners at all levels. It includes a history of the discipline, biological and ecological background, principles of the field, basic scientific information on the structure and growth of trees, the complete range of dendrochronology methods, and a full description of each of the relevant subdisciplines. Individual chapters address the composition of wood, methods of field and laboratory study, dendroarchaeology, dendroclimatology, dendroecology, dendrogeomorphology, and dendrochemistry. The book also provides thorough introductions to common computer programs and methods of statistical analysis. In the final chapter, the author describes "frontiers in dendrochronology," with an eye toward future directions in the field. He concludes with several useful appendixes, including a listing of tree and shrub species that have been used successfully by dendrochronologists. Throughout, photographs and illustrations visually represent the state of knowledge in the field.

A first step is to understand the contributions science has made and continues to make to the care and management of forests. This book represents a celebration of past accomplishments, summarizes the current state of knowledge, and creates a vision for the future of southern forestry research and management. Chapters are organized into seven sections: "Looking Back," "Productivity," "Forest Health," "Water and Soils," "Socioeconomic," "Biodiversity," and "Climate Change." Each section is preceded by a brief introductory chapter. Authors were encouraged to focus on the most important aspects of their topics; citations are included to guide readers to further information."
