Bruce, if you read code, here is the adjustment. Humm, works on thickness.
Guess it just proves you are still clueless.

{1/2002 TG modification to adjust thick wood from same block to give similar
values as thin wood}
IF Thickness > 0.05 Then
        Modulus := (1 + (2*Thickness))*
(0.188*length*length*(buckleload-woodweight)/(WoodWidth*thickness*thickness*
thickness))
Else
        Modulus :=
0.188*length*length*(buckleload-woodweight)/(WoodWidth*thickness*thickness*t
hickness);
{Elastic modulus (gr per square cm) }

Stiffness:= (Modulus*2500)/(density*density*13000000);
