(Beech), Quercus pyrenaica L. (Oak), Paulownia elongata S.Y.Hu (Paulownia) and Pinus sylvestris L. (Scots pine) were examined through the natural frequency of vibration on cantilevered beams (transverse direction) and ultrasound (longitudinal direction). Cantilever beams are commonly used for other materials but limited information is available for wood materials tested in this manner. A total of 60 specimens with nominal dimensions of 40 × 60 × 1200 mm3 were tested, which were visually graded according to UNE 56544:2022 and UNE 56546:2022 as first class, and finally the global bending stiffness was obtained from a four-point bending test. Utilising this data, a regression model was presented to predict the MOE.Also, Picea sitchensis Trautv. & G.Mey (Sitka spruce) has been chosen as a blind species in order to validate the regression model of prediction of the MOE as a function of the dynamic MOE by ultrasound. Bending strength, modulus of elasticity and density were obtained according to the EN 408. In the prediction model using the dynamic MOE with vibrations, an r2 of 95.9% was achieved for the induced vibration technique which was found to be slightly higher than the model for the ultrasound prediction which had an r2 of 93.7%.
