Early genetic selection for wood stiffness in juvenile Douglas-fir and western hemlock

Creator:

Urhan, Oguz S.

Abstract:

Wood modulus of elasticity (MOE), also known as wood stiffness, is one of the most important wood properties. Wood stiffness is a measure of the resistance to deflection, and is important because some products such as laminated veneer lumber, plywood, and dimension lumber require stiff and strong wood. Incorporating wood...

The impact of wood variability on the drying rate at different moisture content levels

Creator:

Berberović, Adin

Abstract:

Variability in wood properties causes boards within a stack of lumber to dry at different rates and reach different moisture content levels after drying is completed. The consequence is that the boards will have properties that differ from ones that were intended to be achieved by the drying process. The...
