Abstract

In order to stabilize the dimensions of thermally compressed Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc) wood, heat treatment was carried out after thermal compression, and absorption test was carried out. As a result of the water absorption test, the thickness of each specimen was increased as a whole, but the amount of water absorbed tended to be unstable for the specimens heat treated for 2 and 6 hours. From 12 hours after the heat treatment, the amount of water absorbed tended to decrease with increasing temperature. As a result of the heat treatment for 24 hours, the thickness swelling was remarkably reduced.
