    This document summarizes testing results for Pinus wallichiana wood from the Thimpu Range in Bhutan. Mechanical properties including specific gravity, moisture content, shrinkage, bending strength, impact bending, compression strength, hardness, shear strength, and tension strength were measured for wood in green, air dry, and kiln dry conditions. Nail and screw withdrawal resistance tests were also conducted for wood installed and tested at different moisture contents.
