The indispensable reference work for wood technology for students, lecturers, and practitioners. Wood is an extraordinarily versatile material. It remains one of the most commonly used materials, often in conjunction with metal, plastic, or glass. Its processing (sawn timber, veneer, panels), conversion into finished products (wood structures, wooden components, furniture, wooden goods), and use primarily in the chemical wood industry (pulp, paper, fiberboard) have led to the formation of a specialized group of economic and materials engineers focused on wood. Working in this industry requires specific knowledge, which is compactly conveyed in this handbook. This reference work is a unique compendium on wood technology.
