Wilson believed the league could prevent future wars by deciding fair settlements of disputes between nations. He believed it would be the world's only hope for a lasting peace.Most of the other representatives did not have Wilson's faith in the power of peace. Yet they supported his plan for the League of Nations.
Wood that is thoroughly air-dried retains 8â16% of the water in the cell walls, and none, or practically none, in the other forms. Even oven-dried wood retains a small percentage of moisture, but for all except chemical purposes, may be considered absolutely dry.he general effect of the water content upon the wood substance is to render it softer and more pliable. A similar effect of common observation is in the softening action of water on rawhide, paper, or cloth. Within certain limits, the greater the water content, the greater its softening effect.
Does anyone know the approximate weight of a pressure treated 8 foot 2x6? I know they can vary greatly but I'm trying to figure out how much bouyancy I need for a floating raft I'm building.ost of the weight added to treated wood comes from water used to solubilize the preservative components. A freshly treated piece of lumber may contain as much as 4.5 gallons of water per cubic foot or about 38 lbs. per cubic foot. As the wood dries and the water evaporates, only the preservative will remain.
