Salvaged timber elements often have length limitations, and therefore, their reuse in structural products normally would require additional processing and end-to-end joining.

Influence of biological pretreatment of wooden dowels on strength of rotary welded joints
Welding wood achieves joints whose strength is comparable with the strength of glued joints. When welding, the top of the dowel is not welded because of the lack of melted lignin. To achieve satisfactory strength of a welded joint, it is necessary to optimize the main welding factors such as interference fit, frequency of dowel rotation, welding depth,

The Influence of Different Wood Modifications on Pull-out Force of Rotary Welded Dowels
The increasing use of modified wood justifies the intention to use it in joints made by rotary welding with dowels. Thermal modification, for example, increases the dimensional stability of wood by reducing its hygroscopicity and water absorption, but it
