Today, studies on natural and artificial aging applications are carried out on wooden materials. Even the same tree species shows different results when left in different outdoor areas. After the external and internal environment tests, changes occur on the wood material surfaces. This study was carried out on the investigation of some surface changes in the red pine (Pinus brutia) wood exposed to outdoor environmental conditions for 3 months in Bayburt City, Turkey. Color and glossiness values of wood materials were determined before and after weathering. Colour (ΔL*, Δa*, Δb*, ΔH*, ΔC*, ΔE*, L*, a*, b*, C* and, ho), whiteness index (perpendicular and parallel to the fibers) values and glossiness (perpendicular and parallel to the fibers at 20o, 60o and 85o) values of wood materials were determined before and after weathering. According to the results obtained, the results of the analysis of variance calculated for all tests were found to be significant. Compared to the control measurements, after the increase in weathering times, whiteness index values perpendicular and parallel to the fibers, L* and a* values decreased, C*, ho and b* values increased. In addition, ΔE* values at the end of 1st month, 2nd month and 3rd month were determined as 10.60, 10.58, and 11.65, respectively. As a result, colour, glossiness and whiteness index values changed with weathering applications.
