Shrinkage of Grand Fir Wood and its Variability within the Stem

This study presents the results of the experiment focused on assessment of the shrinkage of Grand fir (Abies grandis /Douglas/ Lindl.) wood and its variability in relation to the position in the stem. The examined sample trees came from the Černokostelecka Area in the Czech Republic. Tangential shri...
