Abstract The effects of initial moisture content (MC) on anti-swelling efficiency (ASE), mass loss (ML), and equilibrium MC (EMC) at 65% relative humidity of thermally modified Scots pine sapwood under saturated steam (TMSA) has been investigated. ML during the TMSA process was higher with the specimens containing moisture before modification compared with initially dry specimens. Surprisingly, the EMC of the modified specimens with initial moisture was higher than that observed with the modified wood that was initially dry before the modification process. Higher initial MC before thermal modification results in a lower ASE.

Purpose of research. Study of the influence of pine wood shelf life on endurance under compression along the grains, as well as grounds for results obtained. Wood is anisotropic, depending on the grains, the mechanical and physical properties of the material differ greatly. Methods Wood is anisatropic, the change in its endurance depends not only on conditions, shelf life, moisture, but also on the direction of the grains in the timber. However, the relevance of using this material still remains unchanged. The tests were carried out on a press of the UM-5 type. After carrying out the compression test, moisture tests were performed and the test results of the specimens were reported at 12% moisture. Untested samples were stored from 1981 to 2019 in the laboratory of the Department of Industrial and Civil Engineering at South-West University. In 2019, the stored samples were prepared for testing and tested. Results. To obtain substantiated data on the influence of wood shelf life on endurance, an experiment was carried out with the bars that had undergone a 39-year wait in the laboratory of the Department of Industrial and Civil Engineering. From among the samples, 16 samples were selected, which were tested for short-term compression load along the grains. For these samples diagrams “Load-displacement” were recorded on the press UM-5. The experiment showed two types of sample destruction which led to the corresponding conclusion. Conclusion. The strength characteristics revealed as a result of experiments from core and sapwood of pine on samples 20x20x30 in 1981 and in 2020 significantly differed from normal ones, this was influenced by a relatively small number of samples.

Timber Acacia mangium (Acacia mangium, Willd) for Furniture. The study aims to determine the mechanical and physical properties and the decorative value (color and fiber) wood of acacia mangium with using finishing materials. This type of finishing material used is ultran lasur natural dof ,ultran lasur classic teak, aqua politur clear dof, aqua politur akasia dan aqua politur cherry. After finishing the wood is stored for 3 months. Test parameters were observed, namely, physical and mechanical properties of wood, adhesion of finishing materials, color and appearance of the fiber, and timber dimensions expansion. The results showed that the mechanical physical properties of acacia wood qualified SNI. 01-0608-89 about the physical and mechanical properties of wood for furniture, air dry the moisture content from 13.78 to 14.89%, flexural strength from 509.25 to 680.50 kg/cm2, and compressive strength parallel to fiber 342.1 - 412.9 kg/cm2. Finishing the treatment process using five types of finishing materials can increase the decorative value (color and fiber) wood. Before finishing the process of acacia mangium wood has the appearance of colors and fibers and less attractive (scale scores 2-3), after finishing acacia wood fibers have the appearance of colors and interesting and very interesting (scale 4-5).Keywords: mangium wood, mechanical properties, decorative value, finishing, furniture.
