As the demand of wood furniture becomes diverse and large-sized, artificial intelligence technique is required to design the expert system which can promote the efficiency of the operations management in wood furniture industry. This study was carried out to develop the expert scheduler, which was applied to the scheduling in chair-manufacturing process to evaluate its validity. The expert scheduler could show the results of scheduling must faster than Gantt chart method with ease. Maximum tardiness in the current chair-manufacturing process could be reduced from 29 seconds to 5 seconds by the addition of a spindle sander, a 12 spindle universal boring machine, and a moulding sander to sanding, boring, and moulding process, respectively.

Wood-Plastic Composites (WPCs) are one of spotlighting materials for the residential construction and the industry for furniture. At this study, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) was measured by ASTM D 2863 and the cone calorimeter test was done by ISO 5660-1 to find the combustion characteristics of WPCs. In addition, the identical test was implemented to compare the combustion characteristics between the red pine and the antiseptic wood. The result of LOI measurement showed that the LOI of WPCs was lower than that of red pine or antiseptic wood. The cone calorimeter test showed that the heat release rate (HRR) of WPCs was the highest and the Peak HRR as well as the average HRR and total heat release of WPCs was higher than those of red pine or antiseptized wood

Korean traditional buildings, Hanok, are mostly constructed with dimension lumbers and roundwoods. They are hardly kiln-dried without severe defects, thus usually air-dried from some months to an year. Dimension lumbers and roundwoods were heat-treated above $170^{\circ}C$ and drying defects were examined. Temperature rising curves of all dimension timbers used for this study show one or two deflection points. The time when the temperature at 37.5mm depth reached at $100^{\circ}C$ for spruce dimension heat-treated at $170^{\circ}C$ was twice longer than that heat-treated at $190^{\circ}C$. There were many internal checks in roundwoods of $148mm{\Phi}$, while surface checks were apparently closed at the end of heat treatment. The drying time of $300{\times}300mm$ dimensions with 65mm hole was shorter than that without hole by half.

Tree-ring chronologies can be used to date historical buildings or furnitures by matching them with chronologies of living trees. Tree-ring dating gives a calendar year to each tree ring and produces the cutting dates of logs or woods. In this study, we intend to extend our tree-ring dating applications to Korean furnitures. As a case study, we examined two traditional furnitures, one cabinet 'Jang' and the other chest, 'Bandaji'. The cutting date of the cabinet woods was A.D. 1839. The date of the outmost ring in the chest was A.D. 1904. Due to no bark present, the cutting date of the chest was only estimated as $1930{\pm}10$ by 'sapwood rings' estimation method. Ring-width pattern of the latter one also indicated that the origin of the chest must be Kangwon province. This case study suggests that tree-ring dating would be a useful and accurate method to identify the critical dates for the chronicles of Korean traditional furnitures.

This study investigated the effects of lacquer-finishing to prevent discoloration of coloring chestnut wood coated with natural dyes from deteriorating factors such as lights (indoor, 500 lux and outdoor, 50,000~70,000 lux), acid, alkali, and heat through measurement of color difference. Lacquer-finishing coating contributed to protection of intrinsic color of the natural dyeing woods in spite of severe treatment. In particular, dyeing liquor with alkali pH played a great role in prevention of light discoloration.

Seonreung is the tomb of Seong-jong (A.D. 1457~1494), the 9th king of Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) and his second queen Jeonghyeon-wanghu (1462~1530). We obtained dendrochronological dates of Jeongjagak (ceremonial hall) of Seonreung. It was known first built in 1495 and reconstructed in October 1706, We obtained tree-ring dates of 20 wood elements (beams, pillars, truss posts, cant strips, roof boards and roof loaders). Their outermost rings were dated from 1630 to 1705. The dates of bark rings in four elements were A.D. 1705 with completed latewoods, indicating that these woods were cut some time between the autumn of 1705 and spring of 1706. The results confirmed the reconstruction date Jeongjagak of Seonreung in 1706, suggesting that there was not so long period for wood drying or storage, i.e., less than 6 months. The dates of outermost rings prior to 1705 in other elements indicated that some outer rings of these elements were removed during wood processing. Tree-ring dating proved that the present Jeongjagak of Seonreung had been well preserved for more than 300 years.

This research examined the technical feasibility of composite that had two layers of fiberglass reinforcement to enhance the load carrying capacity of lumber. Specimens were prepared from standard lumber made of thinning crop trees such as Larix kaempferi, Pinus koraiensis, and P. rigida. Results indicated that bending properties, hardness, and wood screw withdrawal load of low density lumber from the P. koraiensis increased as the number of layers of fiberglass reinforcement increased. Composite produced by VARTM method showed the MOE increased in all specimens, while the MOR differed on the location, whether the 2-layers of FRP is put on tensile zone or compressive zone. The MOR of high density lumber from Larix kaempferi and P. rigida decreased when they placed into tensile zone, but low density lumber from P. koraiensis increased in same location. The bending toughness only increased high density lumber of Larix kaempferi as the number of layers of fiberglass reinforcement increased. The technique developed by this study may increase an opportunity to use small diameter log with low density for commercial purposes.

Probability based design(PBD) method is independent of construction materials and uses real material properties unlike allowable stress design(ASD) that depends on small clear specimen property, also give quantitative safety and endurance lifetime of a certain material. Moreover, almost advanced country accepted PBD method instead of ASD method. So it is urgent to convert the current ASD method into the PBD method. However, there are wholly lacking of domestic researches related to current issue, and to solve several points in ASD method and to take advantage of PBD method, the conversion from the ASD method into the PBD method is a worldwide trend. Other domestic construction codes, such as steel or concrete constructions, accept the PBD method as well. Accordingly, to introduce PBD method into wood structural design, general theory, and preliminary data and methods were reviewed. With keeping this in mind, some important contents were reviewed, sorted some points for wood structural design that have distinctions against the other construction materials. Furthermore, the history of PBD method, and statistical data and theories for the PBD method, and preliminary data of resistance and load that are two random variables for the PBD method, and finally the difference between limit state design(LSD) and load and resistance factor design(LRFD) that were two superpowers in the PBD method.

This study established the scope of the main contents and interpretation of wooden product design using the CNC manufacturing technology as well as the basic concepts of which were defined, accordingly. After coming up with the definition of the CNC wood manufacturing technology from the academic point of view, a design study, using the practical CNC manufacturing technology, was conducted by analyzing and summarizing the contents of each process. In addition, data research and analysis including review on literatures and case studies of existing products were promoted besides design development through application of the design concepts, ergonomics, principle of molding, etc. Ultimately, this study suggested the step-by-step procedure in design drawing, 3D modeling, CAD/CAM data production, CNC manufacturing, and prototype completion together with figures. Through this, the study proposed a standard manufacturing guideline for wood product design using digital manufacturing technology. Base on such efforts, the advantages and points for improvement in product design using CNC manufacturing technology and the future direction of development were forwarded. Meanwhile, a prototype image that was developed through collaborative efforts between the academic circle and field workers was presented to help the case study on the wooden product design technique using CNC.
