Abstract :
This study was aimed at obtaining data on drying conditions for 11 potential ramin substitutes. Several characteristics of the woods were observed and compared. Research on drying properties at high temperature was carried out to design drying conditions for the substituting-woods. From the 11 species studied, 8 species had better drying properties than ramin and can be dried further under more severe condition.
