This project will also facilitate the formulation of forest management strategy in China to supplement the diminishing supply of timber from the natural forests. The specific objectives of the project are to develop and to adopt processing techniques for solid wood products from existing eucalyptus plantations and to evaluate the suitability of newly-planted eucalyptus for higher value-added solid wood products and to transfer the technologies obtained and to disseminate scientific knowledge to relevant aspects. This paper also presents primary sawing and drying experiment results of the project. The sawing and drying experiments were carried out on 4 eucalypts species (E. citriodora, E. exserta, E. grandis × E. urophylla, E. grandis). Primary experiment revealed that end-split and bow deformation existed in the 4 eucalyptus species observed. Sawing sequence affected the bow deformation of lumber evidently. E. grandis × E. urophylla had severe internal checks. E. grandis and E. grandis × E. urophylla had severe cross-section deformations. The 4 eucalypts species tested were difficult to be dried and further study will be implemented.
