The artificial wood Larix kaempferi and the Chamaecyparis pisifera are widely used,but references about their properties are few.So we systematically examined their physics-mechanical properties and chemical components.The results show that the tangential-radial shrinkage difference of artificial wood L.kaempferi is bigger than that of C.pisifera,and the two species are of both medium.Compared with L.kaempferi,the dimension of C.pisifera is more stable,its drying shrinkage is smaller,its drying quality is b...
