Dimensional Stability of Olive (Olea europaea L.) and Teak (Tectona grandis L.)

Olive, as a wood species, can be compared by its dimensional stability with teak wood, which is mainly used for products exposed to external conditions. Mean density in absolutely dry condition of researched olive wood is 0.810 g/cm3 while the average value of teak wood is 0.610 g/cm3. Regardless of...
