ABSTRACT
In our paper we have concentrated on the study of chosen properties of less utilized wood of aspen. By purposeful treatment of its properties, it is possible to obtain the material, suitable for manufacture of furniture. In our study, we have concentrated on mechanical treatment of wood by pressing. We have studied strength properties of non-pressured and pressured aspen wood, namely its density, compression strength, bending strength with various moisture contents and compression degrees.
Key words: aspen, pressing, density, pressure, bending, stability.
