The physical properties such as moisture content and density of oil palm trunk (OPT) vary in radial direction with tree height (Lim and Gan, 2005). This must be considered in the processing and manufacturing of composite panel board from oil palm trunk (OPT). If these disadvantages could be addressed, the OPT could complement the use of timber for products that are traditionally made from wood.
