CHAPTER V
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS DERIVED FROM THE EXPERIMENTATION
USING POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL 1000 FOR FORMING
WOOD VE14EER PROJECTS FROM GREEN LUMBER
This study was performed to ascertain the suitability
and effectiveness of using PEG 1000 as a chemical treating
agent for forming simple wood projects from green lumber
veneer. Related studies and previous experimentation have
proven PEG 1000 to be an effective stabilizing agent for green
wood. In this study the experimentation attempted to show
the suitability of using PEG 1000 as a forming agent for
green wood veneers.
Findings
The following information was evident from the testing
with PEG 1000.
The one-fourth inch thick veneers of oak, hackberry,
pecan, and willow, treated for either 168 or 336 hours and
dried in the shape of the salad set, developed effectively
with no evident flaws. The four one-fourth inch thick veneers
were kiln dried for a period of twenty-one days. After the
completion of the drying cycle the veneers had attained an
average moisture content of 9.9 per cent of moisture for the
336 hour treatment cycle and an average of 9.0 per cent for49
