Solid Wood and Wood Made

Distinguishing these two types of wood material is easier to do physically before have been painted/finished or other coating materials. By looking at these materials directly we can know the difference. And makes the definition of each of these materials could make to misunderstandings because some solid wood properties have on board made. Wood-made is not really the appropriate term from the international term engineered wood or wood composite.
Solid Wood
Once out of the kiln dry, sawn timber can be processed directly into the foot of the table, the table board (laminated) or a drawer side board without going through the process more complicated. Wood is used directly as we can to think of solid wood. Or when you make the back legs of a chair that curved from the split and sawed a board in accordance with the arch legs of the chair, the material is solid wood remains. This means that only solid wood base materials consist of wood without mixed or in combination with other material forms. Although in the process we use the connection laminated, finger joint or other construction to the board on the table for example, the material is still referred to as solid wood.

Made of wood (engineered wood)
Because some of the weaknesses of wood that does not allow a board wide and stable, then the start is made of artificial board in various ways workmanship and type of artificial board. Basically artificial board is to get a single sheet of board with the risk of changes as small as possible. Made in various techniques and materials of wood is different, because of that there are kinds of artificial board called multiplex, block board, particle board, MDF, soft board, hardboard and the like. All these materials are made by the board. In some designs a chair leg or a cupboard that require large-diameter curve, furniture manufacturers use technology to make veneer laminated curved legs but very strong. This processing is done by layering several ‘sheets' veneer rather thick and long, and then veneer pressed on the appropriate design of curved chair leg on the pressure and high temperature. This process typically uses a glue type of very fast dry on high temperature. So the end result we can see on the side of the foot is seen glue lines as layer of veneer.
When a designer wants to make beams for interior or exterior measures 20 x 20 cm), a wood engineer will not give just one solid wood because it would risk curved, broken or changed shape. To overcome this problem, made laminate and finger joint that many proportion of wood so get a large size but the risk of change is much smaller. This type of material called LSL (Laminated Structural Lumber). From these several process to reduce and avoid the weaknesses of wood. And material workmanship of the results is called engineered wood, not solid wood.
