Shrinkage, Tangential = moderate
Shrinkage, Radial = very small
Shrinkage, Radial = small
Density (dry weight) = 38-45 lbs/cu. ft.
Density (dry weight) = 31-37 lbs/cu. ft.
Shrinkage, Tangential = very small
Shrinkage, Tangential = small
Weight = moderate
Shrinkage, Volumetric = fairly large
Shrinkage, Radial = moderate
Compression strength (parallel to grain) = medium
Bending strength (MOR) = medium
Bending strength of the species is considered medium, being much weaker than White oak or Teak in the air-dry condition (about 12 percent moisture content). Compression strength parallel to grain, or maximum crushing strength, is medium. It is lower in this property than Teak. The weight is moderate. The density is high.
