Wood Modification : Chemical, Thermal and Other Processes - by Callum Hill

There is some interesting reading on the thermal modification of wood (chapter 5) for those of you interested in more of the chemistry behind toasting oak or wood in general. It is a chemistry text book so not exactly a light read!!!

I have sent the PDF to Stig to see if it can get added to the library.

Chart I found about toasting as well
