    This document provides mechanical properties data for various wood species imported into the United States, including specific gravity, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and other metrics. It includes data for species from Asia, Africa, and America such as Shorea, meranti, Spanish-cedar, sucupira, teak, and wallaba. The data is based on tests of small, straight-grained specimens from the cited literature and some values were adjusted to 12% moisture content. It also lists average coefficients of variation for different mechanical properties tested on green wood from around 50 species.

    Results of tests on small, clear, straight-grained specimens. Property values were taken from world literature
    (not obtained from experiments conducted at the Forest Products Laboratory). Other species may be reported
    in the world literature, as well as additional data on many of these species. Some property values have been
    adjusted to 12% moisture content.
