摘要:In recent years there has been limited distribution and supply of wood. In consequence, there are attempts to optimise its rational use. The noticeable deficit and commonness of this raw material cause the search for different sources from which it could be acquired. Therefore, there is search for new applications of lower quality wood, which meets clients’ expectations due to its availability and lower prices. The article analyses the possibilities and justifies the use of lower quality material for different mechanical purposes with simultaneous maintenance of appropriate quality of products.
