Abstract
The scientific modification of fast-growing forest timber to improve the quality and suitability of the timber is the development trend of the fast-growing forest timber industry at this stage and an important means of efficient exploitation of fast-growing forest timber resources. In this chapter, the focus is on assessing the mechanical properties, moisture absorption, dimensional stability and microstructure of wood after high pressure densification. In addition, the effect of high pressure dyeing on the properties of the wood is investigated.
