produced by cutting a log into parallel boards

never used for flooring or siding

Each of the following is a reason why structural wood panels (e.g., plywood, OSB, etc.) are used in lieu of boards for rough framing operations except:

panels have a more pleasing grain pattern than solid wood boards do

panels are more nearly equal in strength in their two principal directions than solid wood boards are

panels require less labor for installation than boards

panels make more efficient use of forest resources than solid wood boards do

Nails can be fabricated or finished to offer corrosion resistance. Which finish offers the best long-term resistance to corrosion?

All of the above offer the same quality of corrosion resistance

Arsenic and copper are associated with what in wood construction?

wood preservatives used to protect against insect or moisture decay

coatings used on nails and screws to inhibit corrosion

chemical compounds used in the glue binding the plies in OSB and plywood

chemical compounds used to reduce the effects of drying shrinkage

Which of the following is not true for plainsawed lumber?

It is commonly used for finish flooring, interior trim, and furniture

It is commonly used for framing

It produces maximum yield and therefore greatest economy
