This book is the result of a long-lasting teaching and industrial activity in the field, reflecting the constant preoccupation of the authors for progress in wood science and primary wood processing.
The book presents the "classical" timber manufacturing technologies, indicating also possible new directions of development for certain technological stages, as well the technological design of a new timber industry, giving all stages for elaborating the technical documentation for investment. The inspired combination between theory and concrete applications, between demonstration and phenomenon, between synthesis and analysis shows the real professionalism of the authors and makes the book a pleasant and most useful lecture for all those interested in a technical career in the wood sector.

This book is addressed to specialists, undergraduate, master and PhD students in the woodworking domain and widely to everybody interested in the sustainable use of branch wood. The topics presented comprise: the European vision with regard to sustainability, the research towards recuperating this wasted and almost forgotten forestry resource, research results from manufacturing, processing technology as well as physical, mechanical and technological investigations into the properties of new eco-panels made of branch wood. The characteristics of eco-design in furniture and own ideas regarding furniture and prototypes are presented.
The authors would like to express their gratitude to CNCSIS for the financial support of the two projects which made possible the publishing of this book. .
