Análisis de la calidad superficial de diferentes maderas

The work is carried out in the provinces of Pinar del Rio and Artemisa, Cuba, with the objective of demonstrating the possibilities of use in the furniture industry based on the surface quality of the planed wood of the most abundant species in the forest ecosystems of Pinar del Rio and Artemisa. The study material was obtained in plantations located in the Agroforestry Companies Pinar del Rio, Macurije and Costa Sur in the provinces of Pinar del Rio and Artemisa, Cuba. The brushing, roughness, evaluation of defects and classification tests were carried out according to the ASTM D-1666-2004 Standard. The five most preferred species by consumers for furniture are Swietenia mahagoni, Cedrela odorata, Cordia gerascanthus, Hibiscus elatus and Tectona grandis. The species with the highest volume and existence in the studied ecosystems are Pinus caribaea var caribaea followed by Eucaliptus saligna, Gmelina arborea, Acacia mangium and Samanea saman, they have the potential to be used in the furniture industry based on the surface quality of the wood during the planning.
