Property Improvement of Eastern White Pine Wood by Lateral Mechanical Densification
Introduction The eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) is of great economic, historical and cultural significance to Canadians. its soft, pale wood and tremendous size established its value early in Canadian history for products ranging from furniture to ship masts. Today, white pine is considered the most valuable softwood lumber because of its uniform grain and knotty appearance, and used for interior walls, window sashes and frames, doors, flooring and furniture. One of the more rapid growing conifers, white pine has been identified as an excellent tree for reforestation. However, its lower density of an average 340 kg/m3 (ovendry weight/green volume) results in lower surface hardness and nail withdrawal resistance, restricting its uses to a large degree. This study was aimed at improving the surface hardness of eastern white pine through lateral mechanical densification.
