Silky Oak

Grevillea robusta es un árbol nativo de Australia, descubierto y descrito por el explorador europeo Alan Cunningham en 1827. La especie pertenece a las angiospermas, dicotiledóneas, familia Proteaceae, y es llamada simplemente silky oak, grevillea géant, roble sedoso, silver oak, he-oak, o simplemente grevillea, y su sinónimo es Grevillea umbricata A. Cunn. Esta especie australiana es la más grande de su género, que comprende más de 260 especies, alcanzando alturas de 40 m y diámetros de hasta 1,2 m. La especie ha despertado gran interés, pues se trata de un árbol de fácil adaptación, de rápido crecimiento y con objetivos múltiples. En su región de origen es la especie de mayor resistencia, regenera vigorosamente y coloniza en forma agresiva las áreas alteradas. Para ser un árbol tan grande crece rápidamente y tiene éxito en un amplio rango de condiciones climáticas y edáficas, lo que lo hace de un gran interés. El éxito que ha tenido la especie se debe entre otros factores a su variedad productiva, no quedando excluida de ningún producto o servicio. Principalmente en las áreas bajas y secas, los agricultores han encontrado que la grevillea se reproduce y maneja fácilmente, presenta buenos rendimientos de leña y postes y no compite notoriamente con los cultivos adyacentes.

Some Amazon timber species, such as Cedrela odorata and Swietenia macrophylla, are considered vulnerable due to overexploitation. Cedrelinga cateniformis, known as false cedar, has a medium-density wood that may replace species under great commercial pressure. We have assessed some physical (basic and apparent density; tangential, radial, and volumetric shrinkage) and mechanical properties (resistance to parallel compression, shear, static bending, and static bending stiffness), as well as the shear strength in the bonding surface. With an average apparent density of 0.721 g/cm³, the C. cateniformis wood presented density and shrinkage classified as medium and anisotropy coefficient of 1,654. The mechanical properties were similar or superior to higher density woods. C. cateniformis fits the C20 resistance class, with the potential to substitute species such as Couratari oblongifolia, Vochysia maxima, Cedrela odorata, and Swietenia macrophylla. The shear strength in the bonding surface was lower than that of solid wood and the wood failure percentage was below the recommended. However, the results indicate that it is possible to find an efficient bond when evaluating different bond pressures. C. cateniformis have also a high potential for timber plantations, due to its ecological characteristics, for instance, resistance against the Meliacea shoot borer and association with mycorrhiza.
