Shearing strength (parallel to grain) = medium Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = high Hardness (side grain) = medium Density (dry weight) = 53-60 lbs/cu. ft. Density (dry weight) = 46-52 lbs/cu. ft. Max. crushing strength = medium Bending strength (MOR) = high Toughness-Hammer drop (Impact Strength) = high Shrinkage, Tangential = moderate Shrinkage, Tangential = large Shrinkage, Radial = very small Shrinkage, Radial = large Density (dry weight) = 61-67 lbs/cu. ft. Shrinkage, Volumetric = small Shrinkage, Volumetric = fairly large Shrinkage, Tangential = fairly large Shrinkage, Radial = moderate Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = very high Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = low Density (dry weight) = 67-75 lbs/cu. ft. Bending strength (MOR) = low
