“…[1,3,13,14,[16][17][18][19] When steamed at 54°C, the H. brasiliensis logs produce boards with higher end-cracks, where 704 and 239 mm are in their respective central and peripheral boards, whereas the steamed logs at 92°C present a greater relief of growth stresses, as observed by the smaller difference between the cracks' length in the central (394 mm) and peripheral (165 mm) boards. [20] The drying process is the best way to add value to the lumber. [3,4,19,21] Although some kinds of wood, among them Paulownia fortune, [22] Eucalyptus grandis, and Corymbia citriodora, [23] present low liquid and gas permeability, the rubberwood is a relatively fast-drying wood [24] due to its high permeability.…”
