TECHNIQUES TO MONITOR DRYING STRESSES AND DIMENSIONAL CHANGES IN TIMBER FROM PLANTATION-GROWN EUCALYPTS FOR KILN SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT AND KILN CONTROL
Drying tests were conducted with timber from 13 year-old plantation-grown Eucalyptus nitens and E. globulus, to determine shrinkage and drying degrade of tangential- and radial-sawn boards. The eucalypt species investigated exhibited a high level of collapse which was difficult to distinguish from n...
