The aim of this study is to propose a method for measuring the mass of wood lumber in piles through a vibration test. Air-dried sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis Carr.) pieces with 1500–1600 mm length (L), 105 mm width (R), and 105 mm thickness (T) were used as specimens. We created a model of wood lumber inside a pile. A load 10 times that of the specimen was applied to the specimen, and vibration was initiated in the direction of the specimen’s length. The vibration test was conducted for the specimen with, and without a small steel plate. The specimen mass was estimated without weighing using the method based on the difference of the resonance frequency when a concentrated mass is added to and subtracted from wood. The specimen mass was thus estimated accurately through this vibration method. It is possible that the mass of the water removed from the wood lumber by drying can be estimated with this vibration method.
