Technological characterization of Eucalyptus clones,
The Master's thesis has been completed and presented
The Master's thesis, developed by Eng. Ftal Martinez Matias, member of the EEA INTA Concordia forestry group, has been completed and presented. It bears the title of "Technological characterization of Eucalyptus clones, where the work consisted of evaluating the physical, mechanical properties and wood defects from hybrid clones, GC INTA 24 and GC INTA 27, which come from the crossing of E grandis x E. camaldulensis and pure clones of E. grandis, EG INTA 157 and EG INTA 36, comparing them with the seminal material of E. grandis, mostly planted in the region. On November 24 at the Faculty of Forest Sciences of the National University of Misiones, this research has been presented, to complete this stage of professional training and opt for the title of Magister in Forest Sciences. This type of study provides knowledge of the suitability of wood for different uses, industrial processes, and an integral use of them, generating products with greater added value.

Burned wood: the Japanese technique that beautifies and protects the material
Elegant, ecological and resistant: the wood treated with the millenary technique called Yakisugi challenges the weather and the passage of time. In the world of design and construction, a Japanese ancestral technique is gaining prominence. This is the Yakisugi (also known as Shou Sugi Ban), a method that consists in burning the surface of the wood to make it more resistant and attractive. Although it may seem contradictory, exposing wood to fire gives natural protection against moisture, insects and deterioration over time.
