Southern Yellow Pine () is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 591 lbf (2629 N) and a density of about 0.51 g/cm³. It originates from north america.
With radial shrinkage of 5.4% and tangential shrinkage of 7.7% (a T/R ratio of 1.43), it is very stable in service, with low risk of cupping or distortion. Its fiber saturation point is around 28%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
