Bending strength (MOR) = medium 1
Shrinkage, Tangential = moderate
Shrinkage, Radial = small
Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = low
Max. crushing strength = high
Density (dry weight) = 38-45 lbs/cu. ft.
Shrinkage, Volumetric = moderate
Max. crushing strength = medium
Hardness (side grain) = medium
Density (dry weight) = 46-52 lbs/cu. ft.
Shrinkage, Volumetric = small
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. Maximum crushing strength, or compression strength parallel to grain, is high. Some familiar species with high crushing strength parallel to grain include Hard maple, Teak, and White oak. The wood is high in density.
