Abstract
Better documentation of the treatability of Appalachian hardwoods may lead to improved utilization of species such as beech and hickory and the lower grades of other more widely used species. Samples of yellow- poplar, red maple, red oak, hickory, and beech were pressure treated w ith the preservatives chromated copper arsenate Type-C (CCA-C) and amm oniacal copper quat Type-B (ACQ-B) at two moisture contents: 12 percen t and 17.5 percent. Mixed results indicated that treatability is affec ted by moisture content differently, depending on species. Practical a pplication of this moisture content effect is questionable.
