Utilization of fast growing wood from the plantation forest, leaving various problems in the efficiency of raw materials, especially branches and twigs. Currently, the problem of wood waste is starting to get greater attention from timber entrepreneurs. In this study, Eka Mulya Alamsyah, Ph.D. and colleagues focuses on the utilization of branches and twigs of surian as raw material for making composite boards in an effort to utilize the waste part of surian stem wood waste. Variations of board density and board types were focused in this research. Result of this study showed that the density of the board affected the physical and mechanical properties of the composite board. The most suitable type is flake-shaped particles for strand board products. The use of other forms such as particles must be combined with flakes for better strength.
