This work presents the morphological effect of densification technique employed on underutilized low-density plantation wood species, Batai (Falcataria moluccana) with an average density of 360 kg/m3 on air-dried weight. Timbers were cut into laminas, air-dried and conditioned. Laminas were pre-treated using pressurized steamer at 130oC, 175 kPa for 10 minutes to soften the wood structure. Densification process happens when the laminas were hot pressed immediately at 170oC, 2 MPa, for 45 minutes. The targeted thicknesses of densified laminas were controlled with 5 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm metal stoppers. The laminas were left to cool in the hot press machine until the temperature of the lamina reached below 100oC to reduce springback effect bef...
