Selected Coating Properties of Black Alder Wood as a Function of Surface Preparation, Varnish Type, Coating System and Exposure Conditions | Chapter 07 | Recent Trends in Chemical and Material Sciences Vol. 5

 On the market, solid wood furniture maintains its popularity. The key factors used to describe the overall quality of solid wood are reliability, environmental friendliness, appearance, and value. Black alder is one of the light-colored kinds that is chosen. Black alder has the potential to be used in furniture manufacture due to its workability, qualities, and great grain orientation. The coating qualities of black alder are discussed in this chapter as a function of surface preparation, varnish type, coating procedure, and various exposure conditions. The findings of several prior studies given in this study could have practical applications in the furniture sector for generating value-added furniture pieces based on their unique circumstances.

Effects of Thermo-Mechanical Densification Applied to Veneers of Fast-Growing Species to Produce Value-Added Plywood Panels | Chapter 14 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 9

 Plywood and other laminated panels are used in place of solid wood in a variety of applications. Densified wood veneers are of particular interest for the production of such composites. This chapter presents selected properties of densified veneers made of two fast-growing species, as well as a new plywood lay-up veneer structure for producing value-added panels for indoor applications. According to the findings of this study, the densification process improved the surface quality and gloss of the veneers, as well as providing a pleasing darker color to the veneers and the plywood made from them. The new plywood structure with alternate layers of densified and non-densified veneers proved to be an effective method for producing panels with improved properties.
