DAMPAK PENGASAPAN KAYU TERHADAP SIFAT FISIK KAYU AKASIA (Acacia mangium Willd) DAN KAYU LABAN (Vitex pubescens Vahl)
ABSTRACT: The research
objective was to determine the influence of traditional timber fumigation of
the physical properties of Acacia wood and Laban. The research was conducted in
the Wood Workshoplaboratory and Wood Technology Laboratory Faculty of Forestry,
University of TanjungpuraPontianak. The research methodology was using a
completely randomized design with 2 factors.The first factor consists of two
sub-factors: the controlled wood and smoked wood. The secondfactor is the type
of wood, consist of Acacia wood and Laban wood. Each sample was made in three replications.
Fumigation carried out for two weeks. Time of fumigation was three hours in themorning,
and continued three hours in the afternoon. The results showed a mean value of
watercontent of Acacia Wood and Laban Wood control was 15.29% and 19.04%. Mean
while ontreatment fumigation the average moisture content of Acacia Wood was
9.85% and Laban Woodwas 5.05%. Acacia wood density and Laban wood control was
0.6255 and 0.5816, while on Acacia Wood and Laban Wood with fumigation
treatment was 0.5223 and 0.5547. A mean value ofdimensional change Acacia wood
and Laban wood control was 5.12% and 11.66%. Meanwhile theaverage values of
dimensions change for Acacia Wood and LabanWood treated by fumigation was 7.88%
and 13.57%. Fumigation treatment has an impact on the physical properties of
wood.
