Summary:<p>Decreasingsupply of mostof commercialwoodas raw materialinspireforestproductindustryto lookfor uncommercial<br /> woodto be utilized.Properutilizationof thesewoodsmustbe basedon the woodproperties,both basic propertiesand<br /> processing properties. Drying property is one of the most important one, because proper drying process will be the main<br /> key to utilize efficiently and ensure high quality of wood product.<br /> Talise(Terminaliacatappa)whichis oneof the uncommercialwoodgrownnaturallyin SulawesiIsland,used by woodworking<br /> industry to produce building components'to be exported.l The objective of this research was to develop the drying<br /> .schedule of Talise wood. The drying schedule was decided by the result of the quick drying test which is elaborated<br /> based on the Terazawa method.<br /> Result of the research showed that initial moisture content was 64.10&deg
