Processing Properties of Ginkgo Wood

은행나무 목재의 가공적 성질

Ginkgo trees have long been planted in Korea as roadside trees and ornamental trees, but the wood was seldom used except some utilization f3r small artifacts. Soaring prices of imported wood and future uncertainty about long-term supply of foreign woods have stimulated research on value-added utilization of less-utilized domestic wood resources such as Ginkgo wood. The processing properties of Ginkgo wood were investigated to determine its utilization potential in this study, and the results of treatability, drying characteristics, gluability, paintability, bending properties, chemical discoloration characteristics were presented.
