UGA professor of quantitative forest management Dick Daniels (left) and Alex Clark, a wood scientist with the USDA Forest Service, are co-directing the Wood Quality Consortium.

The demand has never been greater for Southern yellow pine, a primary wood used in the construction of homes, decks and many engineered wood products like plywood. And while forest products companies have more incentive than ever to increase production and harvest earlier, the pressure to push wood to market is having profound effects, both in the industry and marketplace.
Dick Daniels and Alex Clark, a wood scientist with the USDA Forest Service, co-direct UGA’s Wood Quality Consortium, a research cooperative supported by nine forest products companies. Consortium researchers are conducting studies to determine the strength characteristics of wood and, more importantly, the most appropriate uses for wood of varying ages.
