DENSIFICATION OF WOOD VENEERS COMBINED WITH OIL-HEAT TREATMENT. PART I: DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

Although wood densification by compression improves wood mechanical strength, dimensional stability is often a problem due to compression recovery. Alternatively, oil-heat treatment (OHT) improves wood dimensional stability and enhances resistance to biological attack. This study examined combined w...
