The paper describes an investigation into the potential for using small diameter finger jointed and laminated poplar in the manufacture of school chairs in Iran. When compared with solid wood controls, the results were positive although there were marked differences in performance of the various jointing/laminating methods. Failures usually occurred at the glue line.
