    Default working properties of common furniture timbers

    any one know of a decent list that includes basic properties of various local and imported furniture timbers??

    i swear i had a web page link somewhere to a comprehensive resource but cant find it -
    all i can locate from google is various timber yards listings of the few species they sell
    often limited to flooring timbers

    there would be a post on here with similar but not able to winkle it out using the advanced search
    thanks
