This work includes the determination of moisture content, bulk density, shrinkage, drying properties and strength properties of Coconut wood. It also incorporates some of the findings of other countries. All the properties indicate that Coconut wood offers an excellent possibility of its use in round form as well as in converted form. The strength values of Coconut wood suggest that it can provide necessary materials for low cost housing. The lower part of the bole may be used for making furniture and utility items, while both sawn and round wood may be employed for transmission poles and posts. Thus Coconut wood may serve as an alternative to wood-raw material.
