Abstract

ABSTRACT Sixteen indigenous/naturalized wood species were tested for tangential and radial movement. Results revealed that eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) and chir (Pinus roxburghii) had large movement values (>4.5 %). Fir (Abies pindrow), kail (Pinus wallichiana), mulberry (Morus alba), bhan (Populus euphratica), walnut (Juglans regia), toon (Cedrela toona). Jaman (Eugenia jambolana) and semul (Bombax ceiba) were of medium movement (3-4.5%) while deodar (Cedrus deodara), babul (Acacia nilotica), shisham (Dalbergia sisso), black siris (Albizzia lebbek), white siris (Albizzia procera) and mango (Mangifera indica) displayed small movement (< 3.0%). Key words: Wood species, Tangential Movement, Radial Movement.
