• Comparison of solid wood quality and mechanical properties of three species and nine provenances of 18-year old eucalypts grown in clearwood plantations across southwest Western Australia

  This project examined the log quality, solid wood quality, butt-log wood properties and mechanical properties of culled trees of E. globulus, E. viminalis and E. saligna. The plantations were ... Read More

• Eucalyptus nitens thinning trial: solid wood quality and processing performance using conventional processing strategies

  This study determined the sawn product recovery and quality of plantation-grown Eucalyptus nitens sawlogs using conventional processing methods. Logs from 21-year-old trees, pruned at age six... Read More

• Investigation of NDE technologies for drying quality segregation to aim for optimal kiln schedules to reduce drying degrade and accelerate kiln throughput in the hardwood sawmilling industry

  Hardwood logs and green boards often show large variations in the rate at which they dry, which causes problems for timber processors. If fast or slow drying boards could be identified they co... Read More

• Processing Pruned and Unpruned Eucalyptus globulus Managed for Sawlog Production to Produce High Value Products

  Processing trials were conducted in conventional mills using logs from plantation-grown Eucalyptus globulus to produce appearance-quality solid timber. The trees harvested were selected to rep... Read More

• Resource Evaluation for Future Profit: Part A - Wood Property Survey of the Green Triangle Region

  The project’s objectives were to demonstrate the value of resource evaluation tools that can predict future trends in structural grade recovery, using the Green Triangle region as the case stu... Read More

• Species and Treatment Corrections for hand-held moisture meters with radiata and slash pine

  This research aimed to generate new species and CCA preservative treatment (to H3 level) corrections for P. radiata (radiata pine) and P. elliottii (slash pine); determine the overall reliabil... Read More

• The effect of thinning on wood quality and solid wood product recovery of regrowth forests: E. regnans from central highlands

  The objective of this research was to determine if, after the application of conventional processing methods, there were differences in solid wood quality, recovery and board defects between E... Read More
