peer agreement (net): +1slabwood / slab wood Explanation: Slab wood is the bark edge of a log and according to the dictionary (link below) the outside piece cut from a log in squaring it. From Professor Gene Wengert, forum technical advisor: Indeed, the slab is the piece of wood that is rounded on one side or face and sawn on the other... the first piece sawn off the face of a log. However, you can appreciate that the word also has other meanings outside of the lumber industry and one meaning is a huge hunk, like a slab of concrete or a slab of meat. With this idea, it is easy to envision how someone that is new to the wood industry might see a flitch (or maybe even a cant) and call it a slab of wood. https://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Defining_Slab_and_Fli... https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/slab Also, according to the AN ENGLISH-SPANISH GLOSSARY OF TERMINOLOGY USED IN FORESTRY, RANGE, WILDLIFE, FISHERY, SOILS, AND BOTANY publicado por el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos en 1988 "Slab" es "Costero". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 48 mins (2020-06-19 17:06:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://glosbe.com/en/es/saw mill slab wood -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 1 hr (2020-06-19 17:52:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://books.google.com.do/books?id=WeZxfqhoOrwC&pg=PA12&lp... |
