Due to a processing error the caption of Fig. 1 and the third sentence of the conclusion were incorrect. The description of a system of axis [1, 2, 3] was wrongly replaced by (Akitsu et al. 1993; Aramaki et al. 2007; Bodig and Jayne 1982). The corrected caption and the sentence are given below.

Fig. 1 Schematic view of the sampling procedure and of the systems of axis related to the trunk and specimens [R, T, L] and to the grain direction [1, 2, 3].
