The paper reviews the results of air and kiln drying experiments carried out on 9 species of Indian bamboos in the round. Seasoning behaviour of the species is described besides results of small scale experiments carried out on baking over open fire and water pre-soaking treatment. A process of chemical seasoning of round bamboo for handicrafts is set out. The paper also describes the shrinkage behaviour of round bamboo including variation of sbrinkage and density in the wall thickness. Effect of a pre-freezing treatment on shrinkage and collapse reduction has been discussed. The Intersection point and the variation of electrical resistance with moisture content have been examined.Downloads
