The presented artcle is focused on comparison of tension and normal wood of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in a high-temperature drying process. Samples of 26 mm thickness were selected from sapwood zone with different angle of growth rings. The article evaluated properties of tension and normal wood before and after drying process. Properties which are monitored were moisture, moisture gradients, covering tests, colour changes and longitudinal warping. Tension wood and dominant cause of these defects is often attributed to the excessive axial shrinkage of reacton wood, which is driven by the shrinkage of the G-layer in tension wood. This scrutinised mocroscopic sign has many influences for other properties of tension wod in the technological processes.
