Abstract
Lumber is in short supply in the African savanna region and small native trees are used mainly for posts, poles, fuelwood, and charcoal. Because savanna woodlands never had great potential as a source of raw material for export, their properties were never deemed worth investigation. The objectives of this project are to determine the mechanical and physical properties of 12 common savanna tree species and to set up a portable mill for the conversion of timber into wood components.
