This prototype was made to test the various methods to determine the most suitable to take into production scale. These tests proved that Tasmanian and plantation species were capable of being processed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610352d9c9b8b300601d71d4/1631671985892-MH5PP7G18NA13UH1438D/Eucalypt.jpg Services - Plantation Eucalypt, thermal modification experiments The differing colours represent the temperatures the samples have been heated to. The range is from top with no treatment to bottom at the highest temperature possible. In European this process has proved significant in reducing expansion and contraction of timber. From these tests the normal range in this eucalypt species of .7% summer to winter reduced to .2% expansion and contraction. This process reduces degrade in external applications by eliminating fungal attack and reducing penetration of water into the treated material. This process is also becoming common in high end musical instrument manufacture as the timber becomes more acoustically resent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610352d9c9b8b300601d71d4/1631672073496-UE2IC4NZFPCCVATFTX16/silver+wattle.jpg Services Thermal modification of Silver Wattle (Acacia dealbata) showing the range of colours achieved, this process allows timber to be used in external applications, making the material highly water resistant. This method of treatment supresses bacterial attack, also reduces the normal expansion and contraction of the treated timbers. The process also stabilises the treated timber reducing in service expansion and contraction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610352d9c9b8b300601d71d4/1628120740007-4PDG9T3PTRZQQ92PN3YN/Image+%284%29.jpeg Services - Testing laminations Experimentation on methods of improving strength of laminated forms.

The purpose was to assess the material’s properties and explore the commercial viability for use in high end manufacturing. This project proved with the correct pruning, thinning and modified drying schedules these timbers represent a viable addition to existing eucalypt species used in furniture and other high end manufacture.
