A method for producing timber with heartwood is disclosed consisting of: forming a piece of timber including a heartwood from a tree; pressure treatment of the piece of timber including the heartwood, wherein a desired pressure is applied to the piece of timber to reduce a moisture content of the piece of timber including the heartwood to a level consistent throughout the piece of timber and the heartwood; drying the piece of timber including the heartwood to reduce the moisture content of the piece of timber including the heartwood to a desired level; and forming the piece of timber including the heartwood to a desired shape, wherein to provide the desired pressure to the piece of timber including the heartwood, multiple pressing plates are arranged around the piece of timber including the heartwood and abut an outer periphery of the piece of timber including the heartwood; and a pressure source is application to each pressing plate to compress the piece of timber including the heartwood.
