Round Small-Diameter Timber for Construction. Final Report of Project FAIR CT 95-0091
The use of small-diameter timber in construction has been investigated. The aim of the work is to increase the use of the wood harvested in forest thinning in construction applications. The work has covered a wide range of aspects, from availability of the material to design of the structures. This publication summarizes the results in following areas: availability, dimensions and quality of conifers harvested in forest thinning, cost of harvesting and woodworking, comparison of drying methods; seasoning, warm-temperature and high-temperature kiln-drying, improving durability, strength of round small-diameter confiers, potential types of structures to be built from round timber and new mechanical joints. The tree species that were included in the study are Scots pine, Norway spruce Sitka spruce, Larch and Douglas fir.
