Abstract
Gluing fibre-managed plantation Eucalyptus nitens (a hardwood) to make structural timber elements is a
new frontier in the global timber industry. Very little is known about the characteristics of the material or
how it bonds when different adhesives, processing parameters, or surface treatments are applied. Our
goal for the challenge, was to establish the optimal adhesive type, parameters and processes for making
engineered wood products from Tasmanian plantation Eucalyptus nitens.
