Abstract
Wood structure of Acacia ampliceps grown in the country was studied and basic anatomical data was compiled for the assessment of its various technological properties. Permanent slides of cross, radial and tangential sections were prepared by standard laboratory techniques and observed under the microscope for structure, frequency and dimensional measurements of different wood elements/structures in the wood species. Results showed that in Acacia ampliceps wood, the fibers are medium in length and reasonably thick-walled. The vessels are small in diameter and lower in frequency. The wood rays are higher in frequency and a bit larger in size. The wood may be better in strength and can be used for various wood products. Preservative treatment of wood before utilization may be required to increase the service life. However, the process of preservation and seasoning of wood may be slow.
