Density (dry weight) = 53-60 lbs/cu. ft Density (dry weight) = 61-67 lbs/cu.ft Density (dry weight) = 46-52 lbs/cu. ft. Bending strength (MOR) = medium Shrinkage, Tangential = small Shrinkage, Radial = very small Shrinkage, Radial = small Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = medium Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = medium Max. crushing strength = high Shrinkage, Tangential = very small Shrinkage, Tangential = moderate Density (dry weight) = 38-45 lbs/cu. ft. Shrinkage, Tangential = fairly large Shrinkage, Radial = moderate Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = low Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = low Max. crushing strength = medium Max. crushing strength (stiffness) = very low Hardness (side grain) = soft Bending strength (MOR) = high
