Context

The knowledge of consumer preferences in wood furniture is crucial for the wood processing industries.

Aim

This study aims to identify the attributes of wood that affect the preferences of consumers from the city of Antananarivo, Madagascar, for wooden furnishings.

Methods

Quantitative measurements of the density and aesthetic properties of 12 wood species were carried out. The properties measured were the colour in the CIEL*a*b* colour space, the texture through greyscale image processing, and the density. Then, the wood specimens were subjected to sensory analysis with 100 consumers.

Results

The results showed that the "density" was a prime criterion in choosing a wood species. Concerning the visual aspect, Antananarivo consumers generally liked slightly dark wood colour (L* around 52), tending towards yellow, with a visible oriented texture. The influence of socio-economic factors was also highlighted.

Conclusion

These results are of prime importance in the search for alternative species to replace precious woods that are becoming rare.  相似文献

Context

Information on wood properties variation is needed by forest growers and timber processors to best utilise the available forest resource and to guide future management.

Aim

This study aims to quantify the variation in selected properties of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) structural timber.

Methods

Twelve harvest-age stands were selected, ten trees per site were felled and processed into 301 logs. Dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEdyn) was measured on each tree and log using portable acoustic instruments. Logs were processed into structural timber and its MOE and bending strength was determined.

Results

Overall, the timber satisfied the MOE, bending strength and density requirements for the C16 strength class. Approximately 25 % of the total variation in timber mechanical properties was attributed to between-stand differences, with the remaining 75 % attributed to within-stand differences. A series of equations were developed to predict site, tree and log-level variation in timber properties.

Conclusion

Knowledge of the site and stand factors that are associated with differences in timber properties can assist with segregation of the current resource. Portable acoustic tools can also be used to increase the stiffness of sawn timber by segregating out individual trees and logs that will yield low stiffness timber.  相似文献
