Properties and Kiln-Drying Characteristics of Young-Growth Western Hemlock Dimension Lumber
Sinker heartwood occurs in both old- and young-growth trees. Two classifications of sinker were found and characterized as heavy, with floccosoids, and light, without floccosoids. Green moisture content (MC) of […]

Properties of Beech in Tension Perpendicular to the Grain and Their Relation to Drying
Green logs of beech (Fagus sylvatica) were converted to 1-1/4-inch planks of heartwood and kiln-dried to 18, 12, and 6 percent moisture content. Sections were planed to test dimensions and […]
