Puiduteadlane Tolgay Akkurt väärindas oma doktoritöös haava ja sanglepa puitu tihendatud spooniks, mis andis paremad mehaanilised omadused sega vineerile.

Kask on aastaid olnud vineeritootmise kuldne standardpuu – tugev, sile ja usaldusväärne. Kuid Talllinna Tehnikaülikooli teadlane Tolgay Akkurt on leidnud viisi, kuidas alahinnatud haab ja sanglepp suudavad kasele järele jõuda.
