The wood physical and mechanical properties of Keteleeria fortunei were determined and compared. The results showed that air-dried density and oven-dry density of the wood were 0.576 g·cm~(-3) and 0.544 g·cm~(-3), respectively, which indicated that K. fortunei was medium density wood. The radial, tangential and volume shrinkage coefficients were 4.408%, 3.272% and 7.892%, respectively. And the difference of dry shrinkage was 1.347. The wood of K. fortunei was not easy to crack and deformation characteristic...
