Abstract
A study was carried out to find the technological properties supportive to improve quality of Himalayan Maple grown in Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Data were collected for the frequency and dimensional measurements of different wood elements/structures. Results showed that that the wood is of medium strength and may be used in furniture, flooring and construction where medium strength is required, however, chemical treatment of the wood before utilization with preservatives is prerequisite and can favour its endurance against biological deteriorates. Moreover, pulp and paper products may also be manufactured from this species.
