The finger orientations that were used in this study are vertical and horizontal finger orientation. Specimens were bonded with PVAc （polyvinyl acetate）. The bending strength properties were determined by the three point and four point bending test method. The results show that vertical finger orientation has the higher mean of modulus of rupture and the modulus of elasticity value of 24.49 MPa （28.91 MPa） and 8,814 MPa （11,668 MPa） respectively. However, the tested specimen properties did not meet the minimum strength of the solid （control） specimens.展开更多
