Adhesive bond strength of end grain joints in softwood with varying density

Norway spruce wood specimens covering a wide density range, including density samples between 300 kg m^-3 (low density wood) and 750 kg m^-3 (high-density compression wood), were joined at end grain surfaces and tested in tension perpendicular to the bonded surface to estimate the effect of mechanical interlocking on the adhesive bond strength...
