Most strength properties of air-seasoned Hububalli timber are far inferior to those of Yellow birch (Betulus ). Its shock resistance is only about half of that of Yellow birch, and bending strength and stiffness are about 15 to 20 percent less. The timber is reported to compare more favorably with Teak (Tectona) in air-dry strength properties such as bending strength, crushing strength, stiffness, shock resistance, hardness, and shear
