Greenheart Timber
Greenheart Timber
(OP)
Has anyone had any experience with Greenheart Timber used as a material for piers. If so please point me in the right direction where I could find material propeties on greenheart, such as allowable bending stress, allowable shear stress, etc...

One thing to watch, there are several varieties of timber that go under the name "Green heart" including Lignum Vitae
The two I searched for are Ocotea rodiaei and Chlorocardium rodiaei which seem to be the most common used in pilings and piers.
