Özet

Aim of study: Wood material has a unique color in the natural condition. The wood colorization process is necessary to provide a tonality in the wood materials used in interior design and decoration and to obtain different colors. One of the most important steps of the coloring or bleaching process is selecting appropriate chemical for wood type. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, sodium silicate and acetic acid applied periodically three times on the color changes of radial and tangent sections of beech (Fagus Orientalis L.) samples.
