im not the engineer, but i would like to locate information on the structural numbers for various types of wood. like max tensile strength for cypress or douglas fir, max compression rate, modules or elasticity, etc.

is there a chart or spread sheet somplace that has this info in one nice neat place?

thanks again.

Here is one, not sure if it's up to date or not.

EXCELLENT! THANKS BUD.

Try a book called Wood Structural Design Data 1986 (revised 1992).
It's available from AWC dot org. A library might help too!
