Resists wearing and marring Resists denting and marring High in density Heavy Fairly hard Compression strength (parallel to grain) = high Bending strength (MOR) = high
Bending strength in the air-dry condition (about 12 percent moisture content) is high - comparable to Teak.Some familiar species with high crushing strength parallel to grain include Hard maple, Teak, and White oak
