In this study, it was aimed to determine the mechanical properties of larch wood, growing direction, alpha x chemical and the effects of heat treatment. For this purpose, the black pine (Pinus nigra) used in the study was obtained from the Kicir Mountain warehouse in the Simav District of Kütahya Province. These samples taken were prepared for the experiment with dimensions of 20x20x30 mm and 20x20x300 mm. The samples were then impregnated with alpha x chemical and subjected to heat treatment. Pressure strength, bending strength, density and elasticity modulus tests were applied to the samples. As a result, it was found that the density and pressure values of the larches grown on the southern side were higher and the elasticity modulus values were lower compared to the larches on the northern side. When larch impregnation was applied, there was a decrease in density and bending values in both respects, while an increase in pressure values was observed. When heat treatment was applied to impregnated larches, an increase in bending and elasticity modulus values was observed in both respects, while a decrease in pressure values was observed
