Effects of high-temperature kiln drying on tensile and shrinkage properties and chemical composition of boxed-heart timbers from Japanese larch ( Larix kaempferi )
The high-temperature setting method is a kiln-drying technique that rapidly dries boxed-heart timbers under high-temperature and low-relative-humidity conditions to suppress surface checking. This study examined the effects of this drying method on the properties of Japanese larch ( Larix kaempferi ) boxed-heart ti...
