Does anyone know what the numbers 86, 75 and 65 mean. These are 3 of the strongest and hardest softwoods available. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

Thanks for the tips.
The 1997 NDS had it as visually graded. It has ben been removed since. I have books back to the 1960's where its basically all the same design values. I did an inspection on a 90 year old building with a truss and the wood was like concrete. I barely could get a nail into it. My guess is that it was SP Dense 86 or similar.
