What bullet will go through / be stopped by Wood?

Well this is something often discussed in firearms groups, survivalist and police circles.

A cool series of videos on the subject has just manifested too. Perhaps helping to answer the question somewhat...

The results are in!

Board houses will need some protection internally to stop bullets.
Yet log homes are the way forward for this.

Here are the results using logs of varying thicknesses!

The results are interesting to say the least. If you are using most types of softwood, there is a good chance of anything above .22LR blowing through single log thicknesses up to 10 inches. However, with hardwoods and larchwood the difference was astounding...

For those old-schoolers rocking a .38 Special. There's one for you too.
