Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for cutting wood workpieces, such as logs and cants, into desired products. In various embodiments, after a log is chipped into a cant, the cant may be scanned and re-optimized based on the new scan data and information about the source log, such as simulated orientation parameters, a 3D model, and/or potential cut solutions. In other embodiments, data from multiple sensor types may be used in combination to detect splits in logs, cants, or both. Optionally, re-optimization and split detection techniques may be used in combination to improve wood volume recovery, value, and/or throughput speed.

Abstract: A process for treating wooden logs to prevent cracking and increase durability includes the steps of cutting a longitudinal slot along the length of the log, forming a generally V-shaped notch by drying the log to a desired moisture content, charring the log to a desired coloration, bathing the log in a protective solution, and drying the log. The slot is cut to a point less than or equal to the radius of the log. The charring of the log can be accomplished by the use of a blowtorch.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is a compact, low-cost, lightweight, versatile and easy-to-operate, processor-controlled carving and multi-purpose shaping device (“PCCMPS machine”). The PCCMPS machine that represents one embodiment of the present invention is configured, in part, similarly to common, commercially available portable wood planers and ubiquitous laser and ink-jet computer printers, with work pieces fed into the PCCMPS machine in a horizontal direction. The PCCMPS machine includes a motor-powered cutting head that can power detachable bits to drill, cut, shape, and rout a work piece under processor and computer control. The cutting head may be translated, under processor control, back and forth across the surface of the work piece in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the work piece is fed into the PCCMPS machine and moved by motor-powered rollers. The cutting head may be translated up and down, in a vertical direction, approximately perpendicular to the surface of the work piece. The processor can thus position a cutting bit at any point on a surface of, near the surface of, or within the work piece, via a combination of lateral and vertical translations of the cutting head and horizontal translation of the work piece, and can control the speed at which the bit rotates as the computer moves the rotating bit from one position to another position relative to the surface of the work piece in order to carve and shape elaborate, three-dimensional designs onto the work piece.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for transferring a photo image to an article by first converting a photo image into an electronic format. The next step is to edit the photo image as needed using image editing software. After the photo image has been edited, if editing is needed, the photo image can then be converted into a format that compatible with a computer aided laser system. Following the appropriate formatting of the photo image, the photo image can then be modified via image editing software to produce a desired effect in the article. Finally, the photo image can be carved or etched into the article via the computer aided laser system. Thus, a process of the present invention can enhance the personal appeal and overall allure of an article such as a wood frame.

Abstract: A laser-machining apparatus that utilizes "flying optics" having at least one lens that corrects the divergence of the laser beam as it is emitted from the laser. Without correction, "flying optics" type of systems cannot be used with materials requiring a kerf that must be kept within tolerances not exceeding a couple of thousandths of an inch. The preferred embodiment utilizes a vertical lens that focuses the beam on the surface of the work piece. An additional adjustment of the vertical position of that lens is provided that corresponds to the distance that the carriage is from the laser and degree of divergence experienced with the laser that is being used. An alternative embodiment places at least one beam adjustment lens between the laser and the redirecting mirror that redirects the beam from the laser onto the surface of the work piece. In this embodiment, adjustment of the vertical lens to compensate for the laser beam divergence is unnecessary. The beam adjustment lens focuses the beam into a narrow waist before the beam then diverges again. Thus, the divergence/convergence of the beam over the carriage length keeps the beam spot within the predetermined tolerances.

Abstract: A pyrographic iron for sculpting fine feather barbs on a realistic wooden bird carving uses interchangeable tips slide fitting on the irons. The tips have a head with a flat surface tapered toward one or two outer edges, the surface having from 3 to 100 serrations per inch extending outwardly on the head to the outward edge or edges. The serrations form crests and valleys, the crests charring the barb lines and the valleys limiting the depth of charring.

Abstract: A method of forming a prechar-layer on wood to cause it to become fire and rot retardant. In an air or a low oxygen concentration atmosphere the wood is uniformly charred at a depth of at least 3 millimeters by a high-intensity radiant heat panel. Normally the heat panel is spaced from and moved with respect to the wood. The relative velocity of the wood past the radiant panel and the panel's emitted heat flux are used to control the depth of charring. Preferably fire and/or rot retard chemicals and/or treatments are added to the formed charred layer to further increase the wood's fire and rot retardancy.
