Abstract

The hardness of the wood surface determines its wear resistance and resistance to mechanical damage. This study aimed to determine the effect of walnut tannin used in wood preservation on the surface properties of wood. For this purpose, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and walnut (Juglans regia L.) wood test specimens were treated with walnut tannin with a brush. The specimens then were coated with  water-based and polyurethane varnishes. After drying, the surface hardness was measured. As a result of the research, it was determined that the highest surface hardness was in the control samples without tannin application and the highest value was in walnut wood.
