• Improving returns from southern pine plantations through innovative resource characterisation

  The aim of this project was to identify and to better understand differences in the wood of southern pine as the mix of species and sites vary. Thus enabling better planning, processing settin... Read More

• Locating resin defects in slash pine billets using microwave imaging - A laboratory scale trial

  This study investigated the potential of microwave imaging and acoustic tomography to detect the presence and location of resin shakes and/or resin streaks in Slash pine billets. Two approach... Read More

• Managing subtropical pines for improved wood production based on a better understanding of genetics, silviculture, environment and their interactions

  Australia’s sub-tropical pine plantations of Slash pine (Pinus elliottii), Caribbean pine (Pinus caribaea), and hybrids between these species are an important source of high quality, structura... Read More

• Reducing Fire Regulatory Barriers and Standards on Timber and Wood Products

  As a result of recent devastating bushfires, more restrictions have been placed on timber used in and around buildings. In addition, the use of timber in commercial buildings higher than two s... Read More

• Resin defect impacts on the value of graded recovery and the evaluation of technologies for internal defect detection in slash pine logs

  The economic consequences of resin defects are significant as they are a major cause of lost recovery and sawn product rejection for solid wood processors. This project assessed tools needed ... Read More

• Resource Characterization of slash pine plantation wood quality

  Sawing studies of 50 trees from two sites representative of the remaining slash pine mature clearfall harvest resource were carried out and a reference document reviewing wood quality research... 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

• Thermomechanical Densification of Timber: Initial Investigations of the Potential of Softwood Timber

  This research evaluated thermomechanical densification procedures used as a method to season structural or semi-structural timber in a time and energy efficient manner and to produce minimum c... Read More
