• Characterisation of wood properties and transverse anatomy for vacuum drying modelling of commercially important Australian hardwood species (Dennis Cullity Fellowship)

  The objective for this fellowship was, through exposure to overseas skills and processes, to gain a better understanding of the wood properties that explain the drying behaviour of the main co... Read More

• Evaluation of super-heated steam vacuum drying viability and development of a predictive drying model for four Australian hardwood species

  Drying timber to produce material for high quality applications is an expensive and time- consuming operation. The drying process consumes approximately 70% of the energy required to convert g... Read More

• Improvement of Hardwood Drying Schedules

  This project updates the KilnSched drying model to allow more accurate modelling of the drying behaviour of regrowth blackbutt, jarrah, messmate, spotted gum, alpine ash and Victorian ash. The... Read More

• Processing methods for production of solid wood products from plantation-grown Eucalyptus species of importance to Australia

  Having the best processing methods increases the quality and yield of solid wood products, helping to maximise returns for wood processors. This report reviewed methods of producing solid wood... Read More

• Reducing Fire Regulatory Barriers and Standards on Timber and Wood Products

  As a result of recent devastating bushfires, more restrictions have been placed on timber used in and around buildings. In addition, the use of timber in commercial buildings higher than two s... Read More

• Sawing Regrowth and Plantation Hardwoods with Particular Reference to Growth Stresses Part A Literature Review

  Problems associated with severe growth stresses in regrowth and plantation wood have important implications for sawn timber production, particularly of the higher grades. This review of the li... Read More

• The durability of isocyanate-based adhesives under service in Australian conditions. The results from a 3 year exposure study and accelerated testing regime (Literature Review)

  This project focused on the performance of isocyanate-based adhesives (IBAs) used to bond Australian wood species in Australian conditions. IBAs are an alternative to phenolic-based adhesives ... Read More

• Tree growth relationships and silvicultural tools to assist stand management in private native spotted gum dominant forests in Queensland and northern New South Wales

  Private landholders frequently combine grazing with the irregular harvesting of their Spotted Gum (Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata, C. citriodora subsp. citriodora and C. henryi) dominant... Read More

• Utilisation of plantation eucalypts in engineered wood products

  Currently in South America and Iberia significant quantities of veneer-based engineered wood products (EWP) are produced from plantation eucalypts; however, no Australian wood processing compa... Read More
