The rising demand for consistent, high quality, as well as high density wood species has raised interest in different wood modification techniques. One modification method is wood densification, where solid bulk wood can be compressed, following softening, until its density reaches that of the cell wall (1.50 g/cm3). It is well known that many of the properties of solid wood correlate with its density and as such can be enhanced by increasing the density. By targeting the compression to the surface of solid wood only, the surface properties can be enhanced. The main aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effect of different wood surface densification methods on surface properties. Three methods were evaluated; (i) a lamination technique, w...
