Species of wood used for caskets Correct Answer-Birch, Cherry,
Mahogany, Maple, Oak, Poplar, Walnut, Pine, Select hardwood or Salix
and other species.
Softwood Species Correct Answer-Gymnosperms are coniferous (cone
bearing) with needles or scale like foliage like pines or cedars.
,Hardwood Species Correct Answer-Angiosperms are broad-leaved
deciduous trees that annually lose their leaves like oaks and maples.
Select Hardwood or Salix Correct Answer-a casket constructed from a
variety of hardwoods including poplar, willow or cottonwood. The
component parts of a single casket will not necessarily be constructed of
the same species of wood.
Production of good quality casket requires: Correct Answer-Solid wood
planks between 1" and 4" in thickness- 130- 150 board feet of lumber
with some up to 300 board feet.
Board-foot unit of dimensional measurement Correct Answer-Equal to a
piece of lumber 12" square and 1" thick
Laminates Correct Answer-Made by uniting superimposed layers of
different materials. Typically the uppermost (visible) layer is of finer
quality than the less expensive base material.
Wood Veneer Correct Answer-created by gluing a thin layer of wood of
superior value or excellent grain to an inferior wood.
,Composition Board Correct Answer-composed of particles of wood
bonded together with waterproof glue heat and pressure
Types of composition board Correct Answer-particle board, hardboard,
fiberboard, oriented-strand board (OSB), medium-density fiberboard
(MDF) and pressed board. Distinguished by size and shape of the
particles of wood used.

mainly of iron and carbon; used in caskets it is low in carbon which
keeps it soft 9mild) and malleable; commercial steel contains carbon in
and amount up to 1.7% as an essential alloying constituent. Too much
carbon makes the steel brittle.
Carbon steel caskets classified by: Correct Answer-gauge- a
measurement of thickness of metals
Gauge Correct Answer-roughly equated to the number of sheets of metal
necessary to equal approximately on inch of thickness. An inverse
relationship exists between the gauge number of the metal's thickness-
the lower the gauge number the thicker the steel.
Abbreviation of gauge Correct Answer-"ga." Gauge is an abbreviation of
United States Standard Gauge established by the US Government in
1893
Common gauges of steel caskets Correct Answer-16 gauge (finest
available) 18 gauge (mid-line) and 20 gauge steel (economically priced)
