Supercritical CO 2 (ScCO 2 ) is a drying medium with excellent solubility and mass transfer efficiency. Supercritical CO 2 drying (SCD) can remove the water of wood rapidly and prevent a change of microstructure caused by capillary tension in the drying process. In this study, Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis specimens with lengths of 50 and 100 mm were dried with ScCO 2 . Conventional kiln drying (CKD) and oven-drying (OD) were used as control. After 1 h, the drying rate, shrinkage, moisture distribution, drying stress were measured to explore the influence of drying methods and specimen length for drying characteristics during the early drying stage. The results showed that compared with CKD and OD, water removal was the fastest under SCD, and the drying rate was nine times of CKD and one time of OD. The shrinkage of SCD was the lowest among the three drying methods. Moisture distribution of SCD and OD was uneven. The drying stress of SCD was relatively high, the drying stress index of it was almost five times of CKD and three times of OD. Regardless of the drying method, shorter specimens had a shorter drying period but greater drying defects than the long specimens.
