Band / Issue 19

Inhalt / Contents The current proceedings of the conference "Wood Quality and Niche Products" are in line with a series of workshops and conferences within the COST action E40:

• Survey on the large diameter roundwood situation in Europe, BOKU Vienna, Austria
• Concepts of large diameter roundwood processing, Göttingen, in alliance with LIGNA    Hannover (international wood machinery fair), Germany
• Large diameter timber: Problem or Chance? Biel, Switzerland
• Processes and new products, innovation workshop, excursion to special large diameter    roundwood forests, San Michele/Trento, Italy
• Innovation workshop "products from large diameter timber" Warsaw, Poland
• Wood quality and niche products, including excursion wood processing, Grenoble, France

The various presentations reveal a huge variety of possible niche products and special applications beginning with a specific fibre morphology of large diameter timber (LDT), solid wood applications but also marketing issues and challenges. How can a proper roundwood price be matched to the dimension or quality of the logs? The proceedings are rounded up by a survey on the forest wood chain and LDT aspects in the Ukraine.
