Abstract
) is being increasingly promoted and planted in Malaysia as plantation species for timber. A study of wood properties of 10-year-old planted Sentang produced the following average values: initial moisture content 49.2%; green density 0.74 g/cm3; ovendry density 0.48 g/cm3; green to standard climate (airdry) shrinkage 3.1% (tang.), 1.7% (rad.), 0.2% (long.); green to ovendry shrinkage 5.5% (tang.), 3.7% (rad.), 0.4% (long.); modulus of rupture 75.7 N/mm2; modulus of elasticity 7060 N/mm2; compression strength (parallel to grain) 39.5 N/mm2; shear strength 14.0 N/mm2 (tang.), 11.7 N/mm2 (rad.); Janka hardness 3.74 kN (tang.), 3.24 kN (rad.).
