Wood Properties of Actinodaphne lancifolia Meisn.

육박나무의 목재성질

This study was carried out to investigate the wood properties for efficient utilization of warm temperate tree species. The tested species were Actinodaphne lancifolia Meisn. grown in Korea. Fundamental wood properties such as anatomical, physical and mechanical properties and chemical components were examined. This species was diffuse porous, straight grained and fine textured wood. The heartwoods of this species was not distinguished clearly to the sapwoods. This species had moderate specific gravity, shrinkage, and mechanical properties. And this species had high content of the extractives by organic solvent.
