The purpose of this portion of the PASA obligation is to present previously published information on the tree and wood characteristics of selected secondary species growing m seven tropical countries. The format is concise and follows the outline developed for the second edition of the "Handbook of Hardwoods" published by HMSO, London. Species selected for review are well known in the source countries, but make up a very small component, if any, of their export trade. The reasons why these species play a secondary role in the timber harvest are discussed in the other accompanying PASA reports. ii INDEX Pages SURINAM 1-11 Audira spp. Eperu falcata Eschweilera spp. Micropholis guyanensis Nectandra spp. Ocotea spp. Parinari campestris Parinari excelsa Pouteria engleri Protium spp.

  • Comparative Study of NZ Pine & Selected SE Asian Species
    (FRONT COVER) A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NEW ZEALAND PINE AND SELECTED SOUTH EAST ASIAN SPECIES (INSIDE FRONT COVER) NEW ZEALAND PINE - A RENEWABLE RESOURCE NZ pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) was introduced to New Zealand (NZ) from the USA about 150 years ago and has gained a dominant position in the New Zealand forest industry - gradually replacing timber from natural forests and establishing a reputation in international trade. The current log production from New Zealand forests (1998) is 17 million m3, of which a very significant proportion (40%) is exported as wood products of some kind. Estimates of future production indicate that by the year 2015 the total forest harvest could be about 35 million m3. NZ pine is therefore likely to be a major source of wood for Asian wood manufacturers. This brochure has been produced to give prospective wood users an appreciation of the most important woodworking characteristics for high value uses. Sponsored by: Wood New Zealand Ltd. Funded by: New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Written by: New Zealand Forest Research Institute Ltd. (Front page - First sheet)) NEW ZEALAND PINE - A VERSATILE TIMBER NZ pine (Pinus radiata D.Don) from New Zealand is one of the world’s most versatile softwoods - an ideal material for a wide range of commercial applications. Not only is the supply from sustainable plantations increasing, but the status of the lumber as a high quality resource has been endorsed by a recent comparison with six selected timber species from South East Asia. These species were chosen because they have similar end uses to NZ pine.

  • Discoloration of Norway Spruce and Scots Pine Timber During Drying
    Discoloration of Norway spruce and Scots pine timber during drying V. Tarvainen VTT Building and Transport, Puumiehenk. 2A Espoo, P.O.Box 1806 FIN-02044 VTT, Finland. Internet: [email protected] P. Saranpää Metla - The Finnish Forest Research Institute, J. Repola P.O. Box 18, FIN-01301 VANTAA, Finland Internet: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The effect of growth site, felling time (winter, spring and autumn) and wet storage on the discoloration of spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) dried at different temperatures was studied. Two dominant trees were selected at each cutting season from a fertile and a poor site. Some of the logs felled in May were stored under sprinklers for 6 weeks. The butt logs were cant-sawn with a circular saw. The temperatures for drying were 50, 70, 90 and 110 °C. One group from autumn felling was dried in a vacuum kiln at 70 °C. Common drying schedules for 38-mm-thick pine boards were used. The surface colour (CIELAB L*, a*, b*) of boards was measured before and after drying with a spectrophotometer. Some of the boards were also measured after 0.5 mm and further 1.5 mm planing. Drying temperature was the most significant factor for discoloration of boards. The colour change of pine was quite similar to that of spruce except that there was a stronger darkening of pine heartwood compared to spruce at 90 °C. Discoloration in sapwood increased remarkably at temperatures above 70 °C. At 90 and 110 °C the lightness (L*) decreased significantly indicating darkening.

  • Variation of Basic Density and Brinell Hardness Within Mature Finnish Betula Pendula and B
    VARIATION OF BASIC DENSITY AND BRINELL HARDNESS WITHIN MATURE FINNISH BETULA PENDULA AND B. PUBESCENS STEMS Henrik Herujarvi Research Scientist Finnish Forest Research Institute Joensuu Research Centre P.O. Box 68 FIN-80101 Joensuu, Finland (Received November 200 1 ) ABSTRACT Thc objective of this study was to analyze the variation in basic density between different horizontal and vertical locations within mature Finnish Betula pendula and B. puhescens stems. In addition, the depen- dence of Brinell hardness in radial direction, which is of importance especially for the parquetry, veneer. and plywood industries, on the basic density was investigated. Furthermore, the sources of error in the Brinell hardness test according to EN 1534 were analyzed. Both basic density and Brinell hardness were measured from small. defect-free specimens. The average basic density of B. pendula and B. pubescerz.s were 5 12 kg/m3 and 478 kg/m3, respectively. Concerning both birch species, wood material near the pith was clearly less dense than near the surface of the stem. The average Brinell hardness of B. pendula spec- irnens was 23.4 MPa, and that of B. pubescens specimens was 20.5 MPa. Brinell hardness was found to be positively correlated with basic density. Therefore, the assumption that Brinell hardness varies within a birch stem similarly to basic density is confirmed. The test method according to the EN 1534 standard was found to hc precise enough hut unnecessarily laborious for hardness tests. Finally, an alternative method is s~~ggestedfor determining Brinell hardness on an industrial scale. Kryw,orti.c: Basic density.

  • Remoistening of the Wood Before Planing -A Method for Improved Surface Quality?
    REMOISTENING OF THE WOOD BEFORE PLANING -A METHOD FOR IMPROVED SURFACE QUALITY? Micael Öhman , Victor Grubîi , Mats Ekevad Luleå University of Technology, Skellefteå, Sweden [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT It is beneficial if the machining of wooden products is done at a moisture content equal to the climate the product is meant to be used in. For indoor products in central heated houses such moisture content is about 5-10%. For planing this is often a too low moisture content showing an increased risk of poor surface quality due to severe torn grain. Contrary to this too high moisture content will result in a fuzzy grain surface and problems with swelling and shrinkage of the product. The roughness of a machined wooden surface is affected by a number of different parameters like cutting tool geometry, machine settings and wood structure. The latter is the hardest to control since the surface quality is a result of the local combination of density, grain direction and moisture content. The larger the variation in wood features the more difficult it is to find a combination of tools and machine settings that will give a high surface quality. This study showed that by wetting the surface before machining, in this case planing, the average surface quality could be increased. No time dependences could be shown, wetting short before planing did show as good improvements as wetting treatment for 30 minutes or more. The study was based on a total of 120 test surfaces of Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.).
