Journal Title: Journal of Research in Ecology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Drying is an essential step in wood processing, it gives the characteristics necessary for rational and efficient use. It improves the dimensional stability, better mechanical properties, durability, bonding ability etc. To understand the mode of wood processing structures at Mbalmayo in particular and Cameroon in general, this study aimed to analyze the principle drying methodology used in the manufacture of objects of art and other furnishing products through the humidity of the wood used, existing materials and methods, conduction of dryness, the selection criteria and the influence of average life of dried essences. Also, this study is based on the data collected at the carpentry workshops gathered in the art wood craft shops at the town of Mbalmayo. The results highlight the spontaneous strategies or planned adaptations used in the present study. The study was conducted at the Institute of Wood Technology, University of Yaounde, located in the town of Mbalmayo
