In this study the effect of heartwood-coating (HCO), vapor-dam (VD), bark-remaing (BR) and bark-remaining- coating (BRC) treatments were evaluated during air circulating oven-drying of hollowed round-post of Korean red pine. Hollowed round-post could be dried from the green condition to approximately 6% MC within 84 to 156 hours for the UC, HCO and VD specimens and it took 72 to 240 hours to about 8% MC, which is recommended as the indoor in-use MC. The temperatures in the hole of the Control (UC) and HCO specimens constantly showed a higher-leveled distribution pattern than those inside wood. The vapor pressure in the hole of the UC, HCO and BR specimens was higher than that inside wood and showed difference as highest value of about 20 mbar. The surface checks of all specimens were mild and were observed in increasing order of BRC, BR, UC, VD and HCO specimens.

In this study the effect of heartwood-coating (HCO), vapor-dam (VD), bark-remaining (BR) and bark-remaining-coating (BRC) treatments on the air circulating oven-drying characteristics of Japanese larch hollowed round-post was evaluated. The drying times of the hollowed round-posts for control, VD, HCO and BR specimens were 72, 168, 204 and 240 hours, respectively, from the initial MC to about 8% MC, which was recommended as the indoor in-use MC. The temperature in the hole of the VD specimen was lower than that of wood and the difference between air temperature in the hole and wood temperature became large during drying period. The vapor pressure of air in the hole was higher than that of inside wood for all specimens except VD specimen. The surface checks on all specimens were observed in increasing order of BR, BRC, UC, HCO and VD specimens.

낙엽송 원통형 원주목에 대하여 수증기댐처리와 코팅처리를 실시하여 오-븐건조 하면서 건조속도, 재내의 수증기압 및 재온분포 및 건조할렬 등을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 생재에서 난방된 실내의 이용함수율 수준인 함수율 약 8%까지 건조하는데 72~144시간 소요되었다. 무처리재와 코팅처리재는 전 건조기간에 걸쳐 통공층의 온도가 통피층의 온도보다 항상 높은 분포모형을 보인 반면, 수증기댐처리재의 경우 통피층의 온도가 통공층보다 높거나 같은 분포를 보였다. 수증기댐처리재와 코팅처리재의 경우는 거의 전 건조기간에 걸쳐 통피층의 수증기압이 통공층 보다 큰 분포를 보였다. 총체적으로 할렬발생 정도는 미약하였으며 할렬개수는 코팅처리재, 수증기댐처리재, 무처리재의 순으로 양호한 것으로 나타났다.
