there’s huge waste in transporting and processing structural logs into structural products only to find they fail to meet the end product performance criteria
"Today, the precision of acoustic technology has been improved to the point where tree quality and intrinsic wood properties can be predicted and correlated to the performance of final products."

"There is huge waste in buying logs, and processing them into structural lumber or engineered wood products, only to find they fail to meet the end product performance criteria.”
