Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method for producing densified wood (41). A wet delignified piece of wood (40) comprising cellulose fibers oriented as naturally grown is placed in a mold (10, 16), wherein the mold comprises a porous section that forms a molding surface (13, 14, 15) and/or a porous layer (50) is present in said mold (10, 16) contacting said delignified piece of wood (40). The delignified piece of wood (40) is placed in such a way that the cellulose fibers align predominantly in parallel to the molding surface (13, 14, 15). Subsequently, a pressure difference is applied to press the delignified piece of wood (40) against said molding surface (13, 14, 15) yielding a densified piece of wood (41). Furthermore, the densified piece of wood (41) is provided.
