Wood Properties

I recently came across some information regarding wood properties. It is information put out by our federal government. Within the document for dry kiln operators are details on wood shrinkage, movement, characteristics, hard and soft wood grades, tables of wood shriknage and a bit of other information. All files are in PDF format, easily downloaded. You can check it out by following this link to the table of contents. Chapter one seems to have quite a bit of information.
