Abstract :The peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch.) tree has been an important fruit tree since ancient times and it grows in various parts of the world. In this study, shore - D hardness value and surface roughness parameters of peach wood surfaces were investigated. The surfaces of the experimental samples of peach wood were sanded with 80, 100, 120, 150 and 180 numbered sanders. Then, Ra, Rz and Rq parameters of surface roughness and shore - D hardness value were determined. According to the results of the research, the sanding number of Ra, Rz and Rq parameters was obtained significantly for variance analysis. Shore - D hardness value was determined as 54.80. For all roughness parameters, it was observed that the roughness values decreased with increasing the sanding number.Keywords : Surface Roughness, peach, shore-D, Hardness, Wood
