Physical properties, such as, specific gravity, volumetric shrinkage and moisture content of Eucalyptus teriticornis have been studied from the pith to periphery and bottom to top position. Results show that specific gravity increases radially from the pith to outward, but decreases near the periphery. On the other hand, specific gravity increases significantly as the height increases. In the case of volumetric shrinkage, no such trend of variation has been observed. Moisture content decreases significantly from the bottom to top, whereas it docs not show any change from the pith to periphery.
