Evaluation of Rapidly Improved Narrow-Leaved Lace (Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl) Wood in Forest Products Industry
Journal Title: Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi Part C: Tasarım ve Teknoloji - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Wood is one of the important natural renewable raw material which is maintained its importance many years and has significant potential in the future. The properties of this raw material determines its utilization. Narrow leaved ash (NLA, Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl) grows naturally in our country which has an important place in the work of the plantation in Europe because it shows valuable wood properties and rapid growth (average increment rate 25m3/ha/year). Silviculture scientists state that there should be certain spacing in quality timber production plantations because fast growing species contain high proportion of young wood. Ash wood has found many uses in the forest products industry today. Being white color of wood and high resistance properties makes this species important in industry. In this review article, detailed information will be given about the natural distribution and general characteristics and some application areas such as furniture industry, coating board production, massive and mosaic parquet production, shipping industry, heat treatment, mining poles, passenger and freight cars, making agricultural and sports equipment of ash wood. Thus, we are aimed better recognition of ash wood in our country.
