DRYING BEHAVIOR AND PERMEABILITY OF Eucalyptus grandis LUMBER

Although the increasing economic importance of Eucalyptus lumber to furniture and other value added products manufacturing, its industrial use is still small. One of the main reasons is the difficulty to dry the lumber and related loses of raw material. There is a general recommendation in literatur...
