Abstract

ABSTRACT Locally grown white bakain (Ailanthus altissima) wood has been tested for physical and mechanical properties in accordance with International Standards Organization (ISO). The results of the properties are compared with indigenous poplar (Populus spp.), shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) and mulberry (Morus alba) woods and the same wood species found in United States of America. The results of this study reveal that the local white bakain is superior in strength than exotic species. It has also better strength when compared with other commercial hardwoods and is recommended for a number of uses.
