The thermal treatment of wood at high temperatures is an environment friendly and commercially viable alternative wood modification technology. In this process, wood is heated to temperatures above 200ºC. This modifies the structure of wood and improves its hardness, dimensional stability, and resistance to biological attacks compared to those of the untreated wood. Its color also becomes darker and more attractive. However, this treatment may cause a decrease in wood elasticity. Therefore, optimization of the treatment parameters is necessary for a quality product. In addition, the high temperature heat-treatment processes for wood were first developed in Europe, and the recipes used for the European species were not necessarily applicable...
