Heat treatment has been used in wood to improve its technological properties, but due to the complex nature of wood, it is necessary to carry out analyses to confirm the changes, and also to investigate which temperatures and protocols are ideal to provide the desired effect. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the modulus of elasticity, in order to understand the mechanical behaviour of thermally modified wood, using the non-destructive technique of ultrasound. The subjects of study were the woods of  Bertholletia excelsa  Bonpl. and  Pinus elliottii  Engelm. Heat treatments were carried out with temperatures of 160, 180 and 200 °C, for a period of 60 min. After the treatments, the dynamic modulus of elasticity was estimated by the non-destructive technique of ultrasound and the static modulus of elasticity was obtained using a universal testing machine. It was observed that the heat treatment provided an increase in the dynamic modulus of elasticity for both species. For  P. elliottii  wood, a high linear correlation was observed between the dynamic and static modulus of elasticity for ( R2  = 0.87). For  B. excelsa  wood, a low correlation was observed ( R2  = 0.31).
