Shrinkage, Volumetric = fairly large
Shrinkage, Radial = moderate
Shrinkage, Tangential = moderate
Max. crushing strength = medium
Bending strength (MOR) = medium
Hardness (side grain) = very soft
Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = low
Density (dry weight) = 31-37 lbs/cu. ft.
Bending strength (MOR) = very high
Bending strength (MOR) = low
Shrinkage, Volumetric = small
Shrinkage, Volumetric = moderate
Shrinkage, Tangential = large
Shrinkage, Tangential = fairly large
Shrinkage, Radial = large
Shrinkage, Radial = fairly large
Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = very low
Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = low
Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = very low
Max. crushing strength = low
High in density
Compression strength (parallel to grain) = high
Bending strength (MOR) = high
It is far stronger, for example, than Hard maple, White oak, or Teak. Strength in compression parallel to grain is in the high range. Other species in this range include Teak, White oak, and Hard maple
