Following the tremendous success of the Touchwood History. Project launched in 2007, a full-scale Scotland-wide forestry oral history based project led by the UHI Centre for History. Started in April 2009. This ambitious project – a social history of Scottish forestry in the 20. The project – funded by the Forestry Commission (GB. The Scottish Forestry Trust. Following on from Prof Jim Hunter. Who retired from the Centre in late 2010) with further guidance provided by Dr. Fiona Watson. An experienced ora...

firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood: The chemistry of wood
http://firrs.blogspot.com/2008/05/chemistry-of-wood.html
Firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood. Monday, 19 May 2008. The chemistry of wood. This video is all about the chemistry of wood - and contains a lot of cutting edge science. The structures in wood that help determine its properties are tiny - it its only recently that technology has developed to the point were we can measure them and work out what they do. The work means chemists, engineers and foresters working together. This video is also available on the firrs DVD. The chemistry of wood.

firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood: February 2008
http://firrs.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood. Saturday, 16 February 2008. Anaglyph for 3D video. Anaglyph is the technical name for a technique of making images that have a stereoscopic 3D effect - so rather than appearing flat like a picture they appear to have depth like objects in the real world. The anaglyph technique uses glasses with coloured filters to make it so that each eye sees a slightly different view. You can read up on how they work and how to make them yourself on Wikipedia. This ...

Firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood. Monday, 24 March 2008. There are a few interactive physics games out there, but this one is really excellent. You can read about it and download a beta version of the software at http:/ www.phun.at/. You can build all sorts of machines and structures. Monday, 10 March 2008. Why wood : what wood.

firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood: Wooden cars
http://firrs.blogspot.com/2008/06/wooden-cars.html
Firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood. Friday, 20 June 2008. You might have seen the picture of the Japanese wooden electric car. In today's Metro newspaper. Not so stylish you are probably thinking, but some people really like to have a car made from wood - like this man from Ukraine. Well, perhaps that is also a bit too much for most people's tastes. .but how about cruising around town in one of these. If you keep your eyes peeled you might still spot an iconic Morris Minor Traveller.

firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood: December 2007
http://firrs.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Firrs: exploring the science and engineering of wood. Saturday, 1 December 2007. It's December so a good time talk about science of Christmas trees. Apart from looking and smelling wonderful, real trees use fewer materials and less energy to grow than artificial trees take to make.and if you recycle the tree afterwards (which you should) it can be turned into useful compost. There are three main groups of plants that produce woody material:. Softwoods like pine and spruce. Hardwoods like oak and ash.
