Bending strength (MOR) = high Max. crushing strength = high Shrinkage, Tangential = fairly large Shrinkage, Radial = moderate Shrinkage, Volumetric = fairly large Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = high Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = high Hardness (side grain) = medium Density (dry weight) = 53-60 lbs/cu. ft Max. crushing strength = medium Density (dry weight) = 61-67 lbs/cu. ft Density (dry weight) = 46-52 lbs/cu. ft. Shrinkage, Volumetric = moderate Shrinkage, Tangential = moderate Shrinkage, Radial = small Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = medium Bending strength (MOR) = medium
