This study focused on evaluating the factors affecting the quality of A-bond in plywood, specifically examining the influence of pressing time duration. The plywood used was made from Eucalyptus hybrid (Eucalyptus deglupta and Eucalyptus camaldulensis) sourced from Burapha's Agro-Forestry Co., Ltd. The veneers were air-dried to a moisture content o...
The aims of the study on Innovation of Laminated Bending of K7 Species from Plantation for Chair Product Manufacturing using Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and Epoxy Resin (EPI) are: to investigate the most appropriate method for laminated bending for PVA and EPI adhesives, to test the glue bond strengthen by soaking in water, boiling and steaming and to...

Physical and mechanical property of Dipterocarpus costatus
C.F.Gaertn are significant point on wood industry in Laos and
international market. The aim of this study focuses on physical and
mechanical properties from natural forest and selected three trees of
50, 60 and 75 cm diameter for experiment. The testing was followed
on ASTM D143 ASTM (2...
The project has made impressive progress during Year 1 with the active participation of all
project partners.
A communication strategy was developed for the project. The Basecamp was selected as
a communication platform for the project members to discuss and manage project activities,
events, or other work they're collaborating on. Facebook “VA...
The objective of this research aimed to evaluate the most influenced on A-bond based on the length of pressing time for plywood. The plywood made from Eucalyptus hybrid (Eucalyptus deglupta and Eucalyptus cammaldulensis known as K7) from Burapha's Argo-Forestry Co; Ltd plantation. The peeled veneer's thickness was 2.5 mm. Veneer has been air-dried...
This report was written to provide new perspectives and the potential of current planted timber resources in northern Laos by taking senior government staff to local materials. The study tour aimed to give all delegations with the current problem with the timber supply chain and offer a better understanding of policymaking to take some key messages...
This report builds on a study of rubber value chains undertaken in 2019-2020 (Smith et al., 2020). That study explored opportunities and constraints in policy, legality and wood processing and was complemented by trials of rubber wood processing undertaken at the National University of Laos’ (NUoL) Faculty of Forestry (FFS) (Belleville et al. 2020)...
The objectives of this research aimed to assess the quality of teak boards dried in a solar kiln during the drying process until the end of the drying batch. The assessment focused on residual drying stress development, timber distortion, and change in moisture content. A 2 m 3 laboratory solar kiln based at the National University of Laos, Faculty...
The primary objective of this research was to 1) explore the impacts of COVID-19 on availability of, and demand for, labor in the plantation-wood processing sector in Lao PDR; 2) the Government and industry response measures to COVID-19; and 3) the impacts of 2016 Prime Ministers' Order (No. 15/PM, PMO15) aimed at addressing illegal logging and con...
Authors would like to thank to VALTIP3- ACIAR for providing a small grant to conduct this project. Thanks to VALTIP3 research fellows that contributed hands-on during the construction, Mr Khonethong Soukphaxay, Pongky Phommachanh, and Miss Sompatthana Tiemaliya. Thanks also to Mr Khanxay Khammanichan for his work on the technical drawings for a mod...
Understanding the rate of drying of standing trees dried by using a solar kiln drying method could help in predicting the change of moisture content in the tree over a period of drying time. The purpose of this study was to observe the change of moisture content profile in a standing tree during drying. A standing Tectona grandis tree was selected...
The study aimed to investigate the most influenced pressure and time level for modulus of rapture and modulus of elasticity of teak laminated veneer lumber (LVL). Teak LVL derived from Faculty of Forestry’s forest plantation, Vientiane, Laos. The peeled veneer’s thickness was 2.3 mm. Veneer has been air-dried until the moister content reached in th...
Timber cracking, drying stress residuals, and the change of moisture content profile were investigated during the drying of Tectona grandis boards in a conventional laboratory kiln. The study applied a technique that simulated solar kiln conditions using a conventional laboratory kiln to dry timber, based on Vientiane’s climatic conditions (Laos)....
The purpose of this study was to observe the change of moisture content profile during drying a standing teak (Tectona grandis ) tree. A standing Tectona grandis tree was selected for the experiment with the diameter at breast height of 29 cm in the mixed-species plantation. The tree has been girdling by 20 cm wide at above ground of 20 cm. The exp...
Eucalyptus plantations are being established in Laos by companies and farmers for producing wood and
fibre – with a current area of around 60,000 ha; much of which is young and of small diameter.
Opportunities exist for the manufacture of engineered wood products (EWPs) such as plywood and
laminated veneer lumber (LVL) to supply construction, furni...
In Laos and neighboring countries, opportunities exist for the production of engineered wood products such as plywood and laminated veneer lumber to supply the rapid growth of construction, furnishing, and joinery activities. The objective of the present study was to assess the potential of peeling fast-growing high-yielding pulpwood from managed e...
This article was written for basic identification of natural Lao species which included initial essential characteristics of wood. This article is purposed for those who want to know a fundamental of natural Laos timber species. This project was funded by FAO and supported activities fund from the GIZ.
The aim of this study was to identify suitable locations for solar kilns in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, based on geographical and climatic conditions and restricted areas. The criteria of the parameters, which were incorporated with Fuzzy membership functions, were used to create layers in the ArcGIS environment to draw maps of suitability. Cli...
The utilisation of small dimensions, plantation timbers usually requires joining multiple small elements into larger components. Knowledge on wood properties, surface preparation, and bonding conditions are of particular importance for species difficult to glue such as teak (Tectona grandis) and Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The actual lack of knowledg...
This article is studied on comparison of selling price between FSC certified and none-certified of Teak price: A case study Kokngiew village, LuangPrabang district and province.
