What is obapol and where is it used?

It is very important to know what it is - obapol, and where it is applied. To choose the right material, you need to know what it is. It is also helpful to study what standards apply to slabs of timber and lumber for the carpenter.

To understand what such lumber as obapol is, you need to start a little from afar. All produced lumber has a strictly defined name to avoid confusion. The exact names and their definitions are recorded in the technical documentation and regulatory standards. The term obapol is also strictly defined in such acts. It indicates that this term can only be used for the lumber that is produced from the sidewall of the logs, remaining after sawing. For a carpenter, obapol is not very significant. However, it is still used quite widely. The emergence of this type of materials is inevitable even with the most modern resource-saving woodworking technologies.

Obapol is produced absolutely inevitably, along with commercial wood, and with radial and tangential sawing methods. No one will specially make it, but it has long been known that when processing conifers and other hard species, the output from 1 trunk reaches 4 pieces. In Dahl's dictionary, the term "obapol" is interpreted as "the extreme board from the log", a number of everyday synonyms are also given that have long gone out of use by the beginning of the XXI century. In the old days in Russian this word was an adverb and literally meant "in vain, without any sense." It is not surprising that a similar name was extended to lumber, which did not find much use for a long time. Now the situation has changed significantly. However, this is already a topic for a separate discussion.

Slapstick obapol is one of the most common options. If its outer edge is not cut at all, it belongs to the slab category. There is a slapstick obapol, which has a cut on the outside, but less than half.

Thick slab fragments are usually put on various technical containers of not too great importance. Thin - sent for recycling. For example, they make good chips. The technical documentation indicates that obapol can be used for the construction of scaffolding. You can also make a formwork from it for monolithic concrete. There is also an opportunity to reinforce mine workings with obapol. Economically, all such applications are extremely beneficial. But it is worth noting that in most cases, obapol is sent to furnaces and boilers. Not all breeds burn equally well. And even those specimens that are burned could be used more rationally.

The exception is some areas where obapol is the most affordable option for wood fuel. When a coniferous tree burns, quite a lot of heat is released.

As for obapol from larch and other hard tree species, it is inexpensive and can be used for:

• barn constructions;
• building sheds;
• preparation of other economic structures (this even applies to products obtained from dead wood or by-products of sanitary felling);
• constructions of garden furniture;
• construction of fences and other enclosures;
• production of particle boards and oriented boards;
• receiving pellets.
