For the past 30 years I have been involved in research on wood quality assessment with a focus on non-destructive testing. Over the past 10 years I have been working with the commercial application of resistance drilling to measure wood basic density and stiffness in standing trees. Once demonstrating the utility of Resistance drilling, the emphasis has been on developing web applications (https://forestquality.shinyapps.io/OpenAccess/) that allow users to process traces produced using the IML PD-series Resi instruments to obtain the commercially useful wood quality metrics.This has involved extensive field testing and model development to demonstrate the commercial utility where many forest growers in Australia and elsewhere now use this approach operationally. Forest Quality supports users in Australia, New Zealand, China, Indonesia, South Africa and Brazil to cost effectively utilise the Resi technology for wood quality assessment.
