Table 2 Tangential shrinkage (α _T), radial shrinkage (α _R), tangential/radial shrinkage ratio (α _T/α _R), basic density (BD), and modulus of elasticity of the green timber (MOE_GT)

From: Internal-check variation in boxed-heart square timber of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) cultivars dried by high-temperature kiln drying

Cultivar	Sample	α _T (%)		α _R (%)		α _T/α _R (%/%)		BD (kg/m³)		MOE_GT (GPa)
Cultivar	Sample	Mean	SD	Mean	SD	Mean	SD	Mean	SD	Mean	SD
Yabukuguri	Y1	6.88b	0.43	2.51c	0.15	2.75a	0.10	340b	11	2.66c	0.23
Yabukuguri	Y4	6.79b	0.39	2.76b	0.14	2.47b	0.12	358a	11	4.98b	0.38
Kumotooshi	K1	7.69a	0.11	3.14a	0.17	2.47b	0.12	350ab	10	9.48a	0.34
Kumotooshi	K4	7.49a	0.25	3.09a	0.14	2.44b	0.10	346ab	9	9.60a	0.44

There were significant differences among the samples of Y1, Y4, K1, and K4 for α _T, α _R, α _T/α _R, MOE_GT (P < 0.001), and BD (P < 0.01) using ANOVA. Different letters, a, b, and c show significant differences using the Tukey–Kramer HSD test (P < 0.05)
