Wood stiffness varies enormously both within and between trees, so it is inevitable that low-grade solid wood products are produced from some trees. Accordingly, it would be highly desirable to segregate logs to ensure that only those logs with predominantly high stiffness wood are processed into structural lumber products. This study examined whether sound flight velocity (m s$^{-1}$) could be used as a direct measure of wood stiffness to allow such segregation. Trees of radiata pine were measured before and after harvest with a non-destructive acoustic device (stress wave timer) to see if there was a relationship between sound wave velocity in either standing trees or logs and machine stress-grades of boards derived from those trees and l...
