Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Manon Léchenne and I am currently in my last year of study at the University of Applied Sciences in Bern (BUA). I approach you because I am looking for information about the consolidation of wood in the context of my Master's thesis. This work is part of a planed research project at the BUA (lead K. Soppa) on the topic "wood consolidation".
This survey is intended to deliver a general idea of the current consolidation practice applied to wooden heritage artworks. We also intend to extract current difficulties, as well as materials and techniques with the greatest potential to start research on the improvement of the homogeneous applicability and penetrative properties of consolidating techniques to save woodworm infested objects. We would be grateful for any information or personal views on this subject. Please do not hesitate to ask for more details on the work in progress and we are happy for any discussion on this topic. This survey is of multiple-choice type and takes about 30 minutes to be filled out. For the few development questions we would be grateful if you could use English, French or German. http://consolidationofwood.findmind.ch We are also interested in infested pieces of wood or by powder produced by woodworm. This material would be of great value for the practical research. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you can give this type of material or if you have further questions. My thesis should be available at the end of September 2017 in the library of the University of Applied Sciences in Bern. The PDF version can be requested at the school office or myself.
