Summary In a previous study, the deformation field measurement method on wood during drying was described. This paper discusses the deformation field measurement results during drying to 8.2% moisture content on the radial and tangential surfaces. It also attempts to explain the observations by an approximate expression based on earlywood–latewood interaction theory. The deformation on the radial surface varied between −0.7% and 7.5%. The actual measurements on the radial surfaces support previous work. Deformation measurements on the tangential surfaces were between −0.5% and 9.0%. Although the investigations were carried out on gross wood specimens, the results provide an insight into the extent to which local density variation within the early- and latewood layers may influence the magnitude of surface deformation.
