In the method, wood or wood composite W to be treated is held in a sealed space between two press platens 1a, 1b, and the sealed space is evacuated to establish reduced pressure therein, and thereupon, high pressure steam is supplied to the sealed space. The evacuation may be continued in parallel with the high pressure steam supply.
