OVERLAYS ON WOOD AND WOOD-BASE CORE MATERIALS Selected References by Raymond A. Currier OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY FOREST RESEARCH LABORATORY Corvallis, Oregon FOREST RESEARCH LABORATORY st Research Laboratory is part of the Forest Research The Division of the Agricultural Experiment Station, Oregon State University. The industry-supported program of the Laboratory is aimed at improving and expanding values from timberlands of the State. A team of forest scientists is investigating problems in forestry research of growing and protecting the crop, while wood scientists engaged in forest products research endeavor to make the most of the timber produced. The current report stems from studies of forest products. Purpose Fully utilize the resource by: developing more by-products from mill and logging residues to use the material burned or left in the woods. expanding markets for forest products through advanced treatments, improved drying, and new designs. directing the prospective user's attention to available wood and bark supplies, and to species as yet not fully utilized. creating new jobs and additional dollar returns by suggesting an in- creased variety of salable products. New products and growing values can offset rising costs. Further the interests of forestry and forest products industries within the State. Program . Identify and develop uses for chemicals in wood and bark to provide mar- kets for residues. Improve pulping of residue materials. Develop manufacturing techniques to improve products ofwoodindustries. Extend service life of wood products by improved preserving methods. Develop and improve methods of seasoning wood to raise quality of wood products. Create new uses and products for wood. Evaluate mechanical properties of wood and wood-based materials and structures to increase and improve use of wood. OVERLAYS ON WOOD AND WOOD-BASE CORE MATERIALS Selected References Raymond A.
