Abstract: Wood density measurement plays a crucial role in assessing wood quality and predicting its mechanical performance. This dataset was collected to compare the accuracy and reliability of two non-destructive techniques, X-rays and terahertz waves, for measuring wood density. While X-rays have been commonly used in the industry due to their effectiveness, they pose health risks due to ionizing radiation. Terahertz waves, on the other hand, are non-ionizing and offer high spatial resolution. This article presents a database of wood samples measurements obtained using both techniques, on the same 110 samples with a fine location of the measuring points, on a wide range of wood species (tropical and temperate ones) and densities, from 111 kg·m −3 to 1086 kg·m −3 . The database includes X-ray and terahertz scans, sample dimensions, moisture content, and color photographs.
