Method for treating a defective piece of timber

Abstract

A method for treating a defective timber has acts of forming a timber piece to have a desired diameter, applying glue into the fissure in the timber piece to fill the fissure, pressing the timber piece into a tube to close the fissure, drying the glue to form a useful wooden post and taking the wooden post out of the tube. Accordingly, otherwise waste material can be reused, and the effective consumption of a tree is increased.

1 . A method for treating a defective timber piece comprising acts of: 
 processing a timber piece to have a desired diameter;    applying glue into the fissure in the timber piece to fill the fissure;    pressing the timber piece into a tube to close the fissure;    drying the glue to form a useful wooden post; and    taking the useful wooden post out of the tube.    
   
   
       2 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the act of processing the timber piece comprises acts of: 
 gaining a timber piece from a tree; and    processing the timber piece into a desired shape and diameter, wherein    the timber piece is treated with chemicals to keep it from rotting, exposed to a pressure treatment to reduce the moisture content of the timber piece to a desired level, dried to reduce the moisture content of the timber piece to a very low level and formed as the timber piece with a desired shape and diameter.    
   
   
       3 . The method as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the act of applying the glue into the fissure is processed in a vacuum condition.  
   
   
       4 . The method as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the act of pressing the timber piece into a tube to close the fissure is pressing the timber piece into a tube having a first end with a first inner diameter and a second end with a second inner diameter smaller than the first inner diameter, wherein the first inner diameter is substantially equal to the diameter of the timber piece.  
   
   
       5 . The method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the act of drying the glue is keeping the timber piece inside the second end of the tube to let the glue dry naturally.  
   
   
       6 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the act of applying the glue into the fissure is processed in a vacuum condition.  
   
   
       7 . The method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the act of pressing the timber piece into a tube to close the fissure is pressing the timber piece into a tube having a first end with a first inner diameter and a second end with a second inner diameter smaller than the first inner diameter, wherein the first inner diameter is substantially equal to the diameter of the timber piece.  
   
   
       8 . The method as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the act of drying the glue is keeping the timber piece inside the second end of the tube to let the glue dry naturally.  
   
   
       9 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the act of pressing the timber piece into a tube to close the fissure is pressing the timber piece into a tube having a first end with a first inner diameter and a second with a second inner diameter smaller than the first inner diameter, wherein the first inner diameter is substantially equal to the diameter of the timber piece.  
   
   
       10 . The method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the act of drying the glue is keeping the timber piece inside the second end of the tube to let the glue dry naturally.
