  • 1.  scanner detection of chatoyance in hardwood boards

    Posted 25 days ago

    In the manufacture of wooden drumsticks from hardwood, chatoyance is a critical factor.  Because chatoyance reduces the strength of the wood it produces an inferior drumstick which breaks easily.  I'm interested in any, and all, information regarding successful implementation of automated chatoyance detection which is integrated in the sawmill. 

    Thanks, Pete

    Hey, Pete. Well, if nothing else, I learned a new word...chatoyance. I'm going to send you a contact that at least may be able to point us in the right direction.
