Samples with the dimensions of 20 × 100 × 700 mm were thermally modified in the Arboretum in Kostelec nad Černými lesy at the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences (Czech University of Life Science in Prague). The wood samples were modified in a thermal chamber type S400/03 (LAC Ltd., Židlochovice, Czech Republic) using ThermoWood technology. Five pieces of samples were prepared to be used in each mode of thermal modification.
Thermal modification at the individual temperatures, as well as the phases of heating, modifying and cooling of individual tree species and time of application, are described in the paper in more detail [42].
