Abstract

The present invention relates to method of making compreg palm wood from palm species using palm trunk as its raw material. The method of making compreg palm wood is characterized by the steps sawing palm trunk to obtain a plurality of palm lumbers, segregating the plurality of lumbers into respective categories based on outer part and inner part, compressing the lumbers segregated as outer part to become a first compressed lumber and compressing the lumbers segregated as inner part to become a second compressed lumber, drying the first compressed lumber and second compressed lumber at high temperature, impregnating the first and second compressed lumber with resin, semi-curing the first and second impregnated lumber and compressing the first with second impregnated lumber by hot-pressing to obtain the compreg palm wood. The method increases the utilization rate of material, decreases the total processing time and reduces palm waste to the environment.
