Abstract

Naturally durable heartwood products have smaller dimensional changes and are an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of preservatives. The present study explored the potential for the production of products containing heartwood from maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.). The study was based on 30 virtual maritime pine stems that were mathematically reconstructed including description of external shape, internal knot architecture, and heartwood. Stems were used as raw material input data for simulation of bucking and sawing. The impact of raw ...
