Effects of temperature and press pressure on the anatomical structure of solid-wood panels
produced by using Pinus sylvestris L.(Scotch pine) wood were evaluated. Solid wood panels
with dimensions of 250 by 500 by 18 mm were hot-pressed using a laboratory hot press at a
temperature of either 120 C or 150 C and pressure of either 5 or 7 MPa for 1 h. Microscopic
investigations conducted by Light Microscopy (LM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM) showed that the highest deformation occurred in earlywood regions of all growth …
