The fulfillment of the need for wood at this time can only use wood from industrial park forests and community forests, in which the type of wood is fast-growing wood. One of these fast-growing woods is Terentang wood where this wood belongs to the strong class III to IV. To increase the strength of Terentang wood, in this case, the physical nature of the innovation needs to be done using one of the technologies that havethe potential to improve the quality of wood, which is compaction or wood compression. The results of compaction of Terentang wood process with boiling treatment which has a better value of control are the properties of moisture content and specific gravity, the development and shrinkage of dimensions which arestill low compared to controls. The moisture is influenced by boiling time, pressing time, and interaction both of that. The specific gravity is affected by boiling time, the development of wood is influenced by boiling time and interaction of boiling and pressing time, shrinkage is affected by boiling time.
