Characterization of sawn wood of Eucalyptus clones

The object of this work was to characterize sawn wood of Eucalyptus clones with 7 to 13 years old planted on Entre Rios and Esplanada regions, Bahia State. For comparison and reference Eucalyptus cloeziana samples with 22 years old were used, as this species present great saw timber potential. Samples were taken along trees trunks on two vertical and three radial positions. Differences were observed among clones and radial position for end splitting of dry lumber, bowing and bending indexes, and number of knots although there was no evidence of difference due to log position along the trunk. All materials presented high incidence of knots. End splitting of the dry lumber and bending indexes and number of knots decreased from pith to bark, while bowing tended to increase.
