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