1 . A method of repairing wood or wood products, comprising:
analyzing a wood or wood product for a defect, the wood or wood product having a surface;
identifying said defect in said wood or wood product;
identifying a location of said defect in said wood or wood product;
preparing for repair said surface of said wood or wood product in the location of said defect;
applying a two-component urethane to the surface of said wood or wood product in the location of the defect, said two-component urethane comprising a polyol mixture and an isocyanate; and,
curing the two-component urethane for a period of time.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said polyol mixture comprises one or more oils.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said polyol mixture comprises at least six oils.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said polyol mixture comprises at most six oils.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the polyol mixture comprises a blend of one or more oils and at least one of a filler, air release additive, filler wetting aide, catalyst, color pigment, or rheology modifier.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising removing said defect from said wood or wood product prior to the applying step.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the removal of said defect is automated.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the removal of said defect is manual.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said isocyanate is a polymeric methyl diphenyl diisocyanate.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said polyol mixture and said isocyanate are applied in a ratio by volume ranging from 1:1 to 6:1.
11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising processing said wood or wood product for manufacturing furniture.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein further comprising measuring the size and volume of the defect following identifying the location of said defect in said wood or wood product.
13 . A method of repairing wood or wood products, comprising:
analyzing a wood or wood product for a defect, said wood or wood product having a surface;
identifying said defect in said wood or wood product;
identifying a location of said defect in said wood or wood product;
preparing for repair said surface of said wood or wood product in the location of the defect;
applying a two-component urethane to said surface of said wood or wood product in the location of the defect, the two-component urethane comprising a polyol mixture and an isocyanate;
curing said two-component urethane for a period of time; and,
processing said wood or wood product for furniture manufacturing after the wood or wood product has cured for a period of time.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the polyol mixture comprises one or more oils.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the polyol mixture comprises at least six oils.
16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the polyol mixture comprises at most six oils.
17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the polyol mixture comprises a blend of one or more oils and at least one of a filler, air release additive, filler wetting aide, catalyst, color pigment, or rheology modifier.
18 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising removing said defect from said wood or wood product prior to the applying step.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the removal of said defect is automated.
20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the removal of said defect is manual.
21 . The method of claim 13 , wherein further comprising measuring the size and volume of the defect following identifying the location of said defect in said wood or wood product.
22 . A method of building an article of furniture, comprising:
analyzing at least one piece of wood or wood product having a surface for a defect;
identifying defect in said at least one piece of wood or wood product;
identifying a location of said defect in the at least one piece of wood or wood product;
preparing for repair the surface of the at least one piece of wood or wood product in the location of the defect;
applying a two-component urethane to the surface of the at least one piece of wood or wood product of the article of furniture in the location of said defect, the two-component urethane comprising a polyol mixture and an isocyanate;
curing the two-component urethane for a period of time; and
building an article of furniture using said at least one piece of wood or wood product after the two-component urethane has cured for a period of time.
