Average of 5 replications.
Mean values followed by the same letter(s) in the same column are not significantly different at alpha 0.05 according to Duncan’s test.
CS: compression strength parallel to grains, MOE: modulus of elasticity, MOR: modulus of rupture, kak: animal-based resin adhesive, WV: wood vinegar.
