Evolution of the AWS
Section 10
What has changed in the AWS ?
1. New layout 2. Information grouped and organized differently. Basic considerations Recommendations Industry Practices Product Rules Execution Compliance
AWS p. 6 & 7
How has the QSI evolved into the AWS?
Installation of casework included in section 10 Execution, compliance sections address installation Counters in separate section
= A multi-facetted tool !
Why Detail and Specify Architectural Casework according to the AWS?
Q. Where to start?
A. How about Page 18 !

Wood is a natural material, with variations in color, texture and figure. These variations are influenced by the natural growing process and are uncontrollable by the woodworker. The color of wood within a tree varies between the sapwood (the outer layers of the tree which continue to transport sap), which is usually lighter in color than the heartwood (the inner layers in which the cells have become filled with natural deposits). Various species produce different grain patterns (figures), which influence the selection process. There will be variations of grain patterns within any selected species. The architectural woodworker cannot select solid lumber cuttings within a species by grain and color in the same manner in which veneers may be selected. Color, texture, and grain variations will occur in the finest architectural woodworking.
