I'm in the construction business, so I mite (is that the
best I can come up with?) know this sort of stuff.

Er, seriously, engineers insist that kiln dried spruce is
stronger, but it sure is brittle. IME, hem fir has proven
itself to be much tougher, and I've yet to load KD spruce in
any direction where it's stronger than hem fir.

I hope you aren't board (hah! better...) of my lumbering
(woo hoo!) prose.
