“…of Forest Products, 1939;Kelsey and Steele, 1956) indicate that, in this property also, Australian wood performs essentially the same as the native California material. A study of density and some flexure properties of wood from four trees from the natural Monterey pine forest of California was reported by Moulds (1952). Table 9 shows a comparison of the species means for those four trees and the four from the same forest area used in this study.…”

MONTEREY PINE (Pinus radiata D. Don.) has become a softwood timber species of primary importance in many parts of the world. Because of its limited distribution and relatively small volume within its native range, however, it has not been well known nor highly regarded as a timber supplying species in California. One of the most rapid-growing California conifers, Monterey pine is well adapted to the coastal climate, and appears to flourish in a variety of soil types. It therefore seemed worthwhile to determine the mechanical properties of native-grown wood in order to assess its potentialities as a useful timber species in this state.

“…This aspect is of interest to industries making products such as pulp, paper and fibreboard, as well as for the production of wood in a forest. Density is considered one of the most important indices of timber strength properties as it has been positively correlated with such properties as modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) (Bendtsen, 1978), maximum crushing strength (Moulds, 1952), hardness and shrinkage (Brunden, 1964), and it also has a considerable influence on machinability, conversion, acoustic properties, and wearability (Fielding, 1967). These density variations have also been indicated for effects on permeability (McQuire, 1975).…”

For a single species, wood quality varies not only from tree to tree (intertree) but also within trees (intratree). The intratree variation is the major source of variability (Kandeel and Bensend, 1969) in wood quality (Panshin and De Zeeuw, 1980) which can be controlled by genetic and silvicultural means (Denne and Dodd, 1980). Variation in wood quality makes it difficult to predict precisely the performance of timber and therefore process and utilise it efficiently. It is generally agreed that research into quality improvement should aim at identifying favourable genotypes and also growing
